Cold draw: Light cedarwood note.

1st third: Starts with a mix of cashew nuts, hazelnuts and almonds together with whipped cream, toasted bread, light floral sweetness and touch of cedarwood.

2nd third: While keeping the previous flavours smooth and creamy a touch of cocoa powder is added.

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

3rd third: While fairly unchanged there is a slight pepper spice lingering in the background.

Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a mild strength profile. While not very complex it’s still a highly enjoyable smooth smoking experience.

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