Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. While providing a healthy mix of nutty notes, it kept on a balances trajectory to the finish, wishing something more would have tingled flavour receptors a bit more give it a helping hand to a higher score. Other than that it performed beautifully.
Result: In my book this is an 90 point cigar.
