Appearance
A pre-light nose and taste of this cigar was deep and rich like appearance. A beautiful hardy looking with earthy and dark-fruit like notes.
The Blaze Report
1st:The pre-light nose had a sweet earthy tone with some woody notes The draw was effortless and provided a generous amounts of smooth and creamy smoke. Toward the end of the 1st I starting getting some mild notes of cedar, cocoa and black pepper taste with some nice spice. 2nd:The cigar definitely developed a creamier texture with full flavors. As the cigar was smoked some coffee and nut-like characteristics developed along with some chocolate and black cherry texture. 3rd: Medium body lingering coffee and nut-like characteristics remained in the nose when retro-haling the smoke. Flavor was deep and rich with earth tones becoming more balanced.
Final Thoughts:
A still complex but with more of a refined quality. Outstanding overall construction with an even burn that produced a long and dense ash. Definitely a cigar that’s full, rich aroma, medium-full flavor rich and complex.
