Construction: Fairly giving and even feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Cedarwood.

1st third: Starts with a floral sweetness, cedarwood, toasted bread and Brazil nut.

2nd third: A distinct note of Marie biscuits gets added to the already pretty mild mix. After the red ribbon and predominante pepper spice is introduced.

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

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

3rd third: Keeps the peppery spice introduced in the second half, yet the Maria biscuits and a creamy milk chocolate rounds out the spice.

Duration: 16:20-19:20, 3h.

Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a mild to medium plus strength profile. A enjoyable smooth smoking experience up until the red ribbon when the blend woke up and brought a bright spice and made the last 1.5h a totally different expressions.

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