Discontinued 2006.

Size: 6.5×42, Cervantes (Lonsdale).

Wrapper: Nutty, sandy feel with tiny veins.

Construction: Firm even feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Very light wood note.

1st third: Starts with a prominent walnut and medium roasted coffee notes, with a background note of cinnamon and milk chocolate.

2nd third: Gets a very light black pepper spice on the tongue otherwise the same.

Burn: Burns sharp with a firm and stable gray ash.
