Pairs Perfectly With:

The Texan has a dark wrapper with a lit oily sheen.  The pre-light smell was rich cocoa and some deep like hay-like notes.  When lit a rick aroma filled the air with spices , coca powder and earthy tobacco notes.  Hints of white peppery spice  when retro-haling the smoke through the nose.  Some what dense and creamy on the palate with a chewy texture.  Incredibly smooth draw and lots of smoke on the palate.  Slow and even burn while the cigar continued to gain body strength as it was smoked down with a long and full flavored finish.  Great rich aroma and extremely well made cigar.
