Wrapper: Dark milk chocolate brown, oily with a coarse texture feel with small veins.

Construction: Firm and even feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Dry fruits and black tea.

1st third: Starts with a zesty bitter sweet orange marmalade, sourdough bread, cedarwood and a faint note of black tea.

2nd third: No changes in taste it just dries out my mouth a lot.

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

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

3rd third: The draw gets tighter towards the end and the flavours keep pretty monoton.

Duration: 17:50-19:20, 1h 30min.

Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. If it would have been a little less packed or a lighter draw it might have been more enjoyable, but as it stands now I’m not that impressed with this cigar.

Result: In my book this is a 86 point cigar.
