Cold draw: Dry cedarwood.

1st third: Starts with a hand full of natural hazelnuts, pecans and almonds, together with vanilla sugar and shortbread, finished with slight dryness of cedarwood.

2nd third: Black pepper spice gets added quite early into the second part, followed by a floral sweetness.

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

Smoke: Medium voluminous smoke with a cool feeling on the tongue with a medium light draw.

Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. Well balanced flavours with a crescendo in the final part.

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