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.

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