Wrapper: Chestnut brown, smooth feeling wrapper with small veins.
Construction: Firm and even feel when lightly squeezed.
Cold draw: Grape seeds, hay and dark chocolate.
1st third: Gingerbread, 60% dark chocolate, walnuts and oakwood. Like 3 cm in the notes of grape seeds step forward into the mix.
2nd third: No changes from the first part.
Burn: Burns fairly sharp with a firm and stable whiteish ash.
Smoke: Fairly voluminous smoke with a medium heat feel on the tongue and with a medium light draw.
3rd third: Overall keeping the same with some white pepper spice lurking it’s way out.
Duration: 15:25-16:35, 1h 10min.
Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar, with a medium strength profile. I’d say this is the best blend so far for the Swedish Delight line-up of 5 cigars. While it reminds me of the Jas Sum Kral Söta Kakor a bit, it still keeps it’s own profile from start to finish.
Result: In my book this is an 90 point cigar.
