1st third: Starts with hot chocolate, cedarwood, toasted bread, nutmeg, cinnamon and walnuts.

2nd third: Whipped cream added to the mix.

Burn: Burns a little uneven and hasty but with a firm and stable white-ish ash.

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

Conclusion: A full bodied cigar with a medium strength profile, good complexity and enjoyable smoking experience all though it might have burned a little hasty in the beginning.
