Cold draw: Dry sandalwood.

1st third: Starts with sandalwood, cacoa powder, roasted hazelnuts, peach ice tea and a light ginger spice in the background.

2nd third: While the flavours stay the same, the spice is turned up on a notch.

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

3rd third: A stable smoke from start to finish, with a floral note added to the end.

Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. While it had a wide profile it didn’t change up that much throughout.

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