This cigar had a deep reddish-brown color. The pre-light nose had a faint, clean tobacco note, while the pre-light taste had black pepper with earthy-hay flavors and a slight bitterness. Once lit the cigar had a very spicy taste with big white pepper notes in the nose. The aroma had a sweet, rich-chocolate and graham cracker like smell. The burn was slow and even. It had a full body which kicked in pretty early but had the flavor to match with an outstanding aroma.
