Size: 9.5×46, Presidente.

Wrapper: Milk chocolate brown, oily and smooth texture with small veins.

Construction: Fairly firm and mostly even feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Oakwood.

1st third: Starts with farm rustic bread, olive oil, nutmeg and oakwood.

2nd third: Keeps consistently through this part.

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

Smoke: Medium voluminous smoke with a medium heat feel on the tongue with a medium draw.

3rd third: Unchanged from start to finish pretty much, with a slight white pepper spice added towards the end.

Duration: 16:35-19:50, 3h 15min.

Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. Enjoyable taste and consistency of the profile, but it might be a tad bit too long of a smoke for the lack of complexity overall.

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