Wrapper: Nutty, oily and silky smooth with tiny veins.

Construction: Fairly firm when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Light floral note.

1st third: Starts with a toasted bread, espresso coffee, cinnamon and mahogany.

2nd third: Keeps a consistent flavour profile.

Burn: Burns fairly sharp with a firm and stable whiteish ash.

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

3rd third: Well balanced flavours until the very end.
