1st third: Starts with light floral sweetness, light pine wood and sweet waffle.

2nd third: Unchanged.

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

Conclusion: A mild bodied cigar with a medium strength. For being a pretty mild bodied cigar it brings in a suave complexity. Pretty enjoyable experience. Pine needles on the aftertaste 10 minutes after finishing it.

Result: In my book this is a 91 point cigar.
