A creamy texture followed by a slight peppery spice on the finish. Some rich earthy tones in the profile with a smokey, spicy cocoa flavor that hada nutty quality to it, which also started to develop in the aroma. Some cedar and cocoa note on the palate and in the aroma.
2nd Third:
Creamy texture continued to develop along with a noticeable great medium body. Delivering a very rich and full flavored, luring character with a subtle yet present bold body. the aroma and flavor continued to develop and intensify. Pepper spices in the taste and through the nose. Those spices remained consistent and accentuated the full flavored.
Final Third:
The aroma also continued to intensify with richer earthiness flavor. Some peppery spices continued to develop with some deep and rich, earthy tobacco notes. Full-flavored experience of this cigar. The aroma had some cocoa, graham cracker like notes and cedar tones. A mostly even burn that produced a very solid ash.
