Size: 5×50, Robusto.

Wrapper: Chestnut brown, oily and coarse texture with tiny veins.

Construction: Firm and fairly even feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Drying hay, prunes, cacao and nutty.

1st third: Starts with dark roasted coffee, cacao covered prunes, citrus zest and roasted hazelnuts.

2nd third: While the flavours are the same the overall mouth feel is like a creamy cappuccino with a extra shot of espresso.

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

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

3rd third: Continues inline with previous parts.

Duration: 14:50-16:10, 1h 20min.

Conclusion: A medium to full bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. While it started with great flavours I hoped it would expand throughout but it just kept the same from start to finish.

Result: In my book this is a 89 point cigar.
