Size: 6×54, Torpedo.
Wrapper: Milk chocolate brown, oily and smooth texture with small veins.
Construction: Fairly firm and even feel when lightly squeezed.
Cold draw: Cedarwood.
1st third: Starts with dark roasted coffee, cedarwood, red pepper, nutmeg, toasted bread and Brazil nuts.
2nd third: Unchanged from part 1.
Burn: Burns hasty and sharp but uneven with a firm and stable white-ish ash.
Smoke: Voluminous smoke with a medium heat feel on the tongue with a light draw.
3rd third: Get some bitter notes towards the end together with white pepper spice on the tongue. Otherwise the previous flavours keep steady in the background.
Duration: 18:10-19:00, 50min.
Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. Pretty well balanced, not so complex but still enjoyable. But it burns pretty hasty for the size.
Result: In my book this is a 88 point cigar.
