1st third: Starts with light floral sweetness, medium roasted coffee, digestive biscuits, citrus zest and pencil wood.

2nd third: While unchanged from part 2 for the most part, the bitterness steps forward a bit, not uncomfortable though. Additionally a white pepper spice lingers in the gums.

Burn: Burns fairly sharp with a firm and stable white-ish ash.

Smoke: Voluminous smoke with a medium heat feel on the tongue with a light draw.

3rd third: It retains previous flavours intact with a slight increase of power towards the end.

Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. Enjoyable smoking experience, reminding me of a certain cigar that matches well with tea.

Result: In my book this is a 90 point cigar.
