Store bought at Mellgrens Fine Tobacco.
Location: This review was made outdoors on a beach in Portugal, during an hot sunny day. 32°C.
Wrapper: Milk chocolate, silky smooth with tiny veins and a cotton/pig tail.
Construction: Medium feeling, not firm and also not soft, but something in the middle.
Cold draw: Hay, creaminess and wood.
1st third: Medium roasted coffee, light wood notes, almonds and a creamy feeling.
2nd third: Keeps a steady flow of flavours, maybe a hint of a darker wood in the background.
The burn: Firm stable ash with white-gray tones and burns sharp.
Smoke: Medium voluminous smoke with a medium heat feel on the tounge.
3rd third: Keeps the same smooth flavours from previous parts. Towards the end it gets darker, like a dark roasted coffee and a dark oak wood.
Conclusion: This is a medium bodied cigar, with medium strength. Should work perfectly with a cup of black coffee or a cappuccino. Also a lighter whisky or a not so sweet rum and most definitely a smooth cognac.
Result: In my book this is an 90 point cigar.
