Wrapper: Milk chocolate brown, silky smooth with tiny veins.

Construction: Fairly firm and even when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Barnyard, dried pruns and cacao powder.

1st third: Starts with sweet pastry, nutmeg, cacao powder, cinnamon and light wood.

2nd third: The flavours from before stay the same through this part.

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

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

3rd third: Reminds me of a pain au chocolate, cinnamon, light oakwood and nutmeg.

Duration: 18:35-20:55, 2h 20min.

Conclusion: A light to medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. Comparing this version to the original it’s a wide range of difference between the two, this is not like the original Enigma. It’s still a enjoyable cigar but it lacks that complexity I was looking forward too.

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