Wrapper: Dark chocolate brown, oily texture feel with small protruding veins.

Construction: Fairly firm and a little uneven feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Dried fruits that reminds me of apricots and notes of oakwood.

1st third: Starts with notes of puff pastry, freshly baked white bread, cashew nuts, nutmeg and oakwood with a faint hint of chocolate far in the background.

2nd third: Keeps the same from the first part.

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

Smoke: Voluminous smoke with a cool feeling on the tongue with a medium light draw.

3rd third: Unchanged from previous parts.

Duration: 15:30-17:00, 1h 30min.

Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. A balanced flavour profile throughout the cigar with little to non change, still enjoyable but leaving me wanting more out of it.

Result: In my book this is an 90 point cigar.
