Size: 6.25×52, Piramid.

Wrapper: Milk chocolate, smooth with small protruding veins.

Construction: Firm even feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Oriental spices and cedarwood.

1st third: Starts with a nutty, earthy and ginger spice note followed by dark chocolate.

2nd third: No changes from part one, just perfectly levelled.

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

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