Review Notes:
This is one very well made, very solid, box pressed cigar with a nice cap. The construction is flawless, with a very dark brown, oily, veiny wrapper. At first light, and throughout the first third, the dominant flavor is a mild sweet spiciness with nuances of wood and dark cocoa. The flavor profile is rich and medium bodied, however, it is pleasantly mild in the strength department. The draw is as good as it gets, offering loads of creamy, rich smoke. The burn is nearly perfect with a firm, hang-on, light gray ash. As you burn your way through the middle, the sweet spiciness becomes a bit richer. The hints of wood and cocoa continue and are joined by nuances of strong coffee. In the final third, the flavors of spice and coffee dominate. This is an elegant cigar with a smooth, rich and delicious, medium bodied flavor profile. It never gets harsh or bitter. This is not a nicotine bomb; it is mild/medium in that department. This is a great anytime smoke! Aftertaste is short and pleasant. One of my personal favorites
