2nd third: Turns more to pistachio nuts, keeps the wood notes, nutmeg, cacao and dried fruits as a sweetness. In the background there is a faint hint of peat resembling a Islay whisky.

Conclusion: A full bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. Interesting complexity while keeping smooth balance in the flavour department. It’s not one of my favorite Year of from Flor de Selva, but it has its unique spin on a one off release.

Result: In my book this is an 92 point cigar.
