1st third: Starts with a medium to full roasted coffee, sweet pastry, cedarwood spice, some caramel sweetness

2nd third: Fairly unchanged, there is an introduction of white pepper spice in the background.

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

Smoke: Voluminous smoke with a cool feeling on the tongue with a cool feeling on the tongue. It goes out far to often even when sitting and puffing on it.

3rd third: Cedarwood forward, the coffee notes keeps steady while the white pepper spice lingers long in the aftertaste.

Duration: 19:10-20:55, 1h 45min.

Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. While it had a good taste profile, it sadly lacked in consistent burning, had to relight it far to often even though I was puffing on it fairly frequently.

Result: In my book this is an 88 point cigar.
