Review Notes:
Mine came from an AGO02 box. When I saw the reviews, I thought to myself, there's no way that a cigar can live up to such high praise. Well, it turns out that it was able to do so, and then some. Smooth appearance, spongy feel, perfect draw, and that's without mentioning the fantastic flavour. It began woody, followed by a peppery taste, but not black pepper. It's more akin to a sweet chili pepper; just the right combination of heat and sweetness. Hints of cocoa also appeared. The aftertaste was almost as good as the cigar itself, tasting very sweet and smooth, like my mouth was coated in honey. Into the second third, the pepper flavour began to dominate, and flavours of coffee began to appear. The finale was the best part; the cigar became nutty and sweet at first, before tasting of rich, wet earth (in a very good way). Then, I began to taste very rich fruit flavours, and I swear that my last puffs tasted almost like a delicious piece of carrot cake. The flavour was mild in the beginning, but built to a surprisingly powerful finish. This cigar is one that simply must be tried.
