Wrapper: Milk chocolate brown, oily and smooth texture with tiny veins.

Construction: Fairly firm and even feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Spruce tree, earthy and nutty.

1st third: Starts with creamy 60% milk chocolate, nutmeg, cloves, natural peanuts and spruce needles and wood.

2nd third: While keeping it’s previous flavours pretty steady the milk chocolate turns to a café au lait.

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

Smoke: Medium voluminous smoke with a cool feeling on the tongue with a light draw.

3rd third: While fairly unchanged from previous parts a earthy undertone gaining a greater presence in this final part. Towards the end a harsh black pepper spice steps forward.

Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium to full strength profile. Enjoyable fairly smooth smoking experience with some complexity.

Result: In my book this is a 91 point cigar.
