1st third: Starts a little harsh, cedarwood, white pepper, hay and earthy.

2nd third: Keep the same flavours, a bit lackluster body as it feels pretty thin.

Conclusion: A mild bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. Fairly lacklustering, not very complex fairly one-sided blend. But still and okay cigar.
