Wrapper: Milk chocolate brown, coarse texture with some small veins.
Construction: Fairly firm and even feel when lightly squeezed.
Cold draw: Dried fruits.
1st third: Starts with raisin sweetness, cedarwood, cashew nuts, nutmeg and leather.
2nd third: The previous flavours saturates out and notes of pine needles steps forward a bit more.

Result: In my book this is a 87 point cigar.
