Wrapper: Chestnut brown, oily and silky smooth texture with tiny veins.

Construction: Firm and even feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Oakwood and flour.

1st third: Starts with farm bread, oily chestnuts, oakwood, earthy and a touch of cacao.

2nd third: Fairly on the level from the first part.

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

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

3rd third: While it keeps the same flavourwise, just a slight increase in spice.

Duration: 14:30-15:55, 1h 25min.

Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. Fairly on the level throughout, enjoyable but I still prefer the shade variant as it brings more complexity.

Result: In my book this is a 89 point cigar.
