1st third: Starts with a light milk chocolate, toasted bread, pencil wood and pistachios.
2nd third: Notes of charred gingerbread added to the mix.
Burn: Burns fairly sharp with a firm and stable white-ish ash.
Smoke: Light smoke with a medium cool feeling on the tongue with a tight draw.
3rd third: No change of flavours, but had to relight a few times as it kept going out.
Duration: 15:20-17:00, 1h 40min.
Conclusion: A mild to medium bodied cigar with a mild strength profile. Good initial flavours, a bit muted down but they kept constant. Of course the Cuban draw is tighter in general and it was no exception this time around, would have liked a bit more open draw to let the flavours grow a bit more.
Result: In my book this is a 88 point cigar.
