Size: 5.2×42, Mareva

Wrapper: Almond light brown, smooth texture with small protruding veins.

Construction: Fairly firm and even feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Light wood note on the draw with sugary sweetness on the lips.

1st third: Toasted brioche rolls, medium roasted coffee and flowery sweetness together with sugary sweetness on the lips.

2nd third: Notes of creamy milk chocolate added to the mix.

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

Smoke: Voluminous smoke with a cool feeling on the tongue with a light draw.

3rd third: Reverts back to how it was in the first part without the sweetness on the lips.

Duration: 19:00-19:50, 50min.

Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a mild strength profile. For it being a sweet tipped it’s a smooth cigar, you don’t feel sick like most flavoured cigars out there. This is actually a cigar I would recommend to a novice.

Result: In my book this is a 90 point cigar.
