Review Notes: EXCELLENT SMOKE! This stick had a dark brown oily, toothy wrapper with minimal veins. Very nice prelight aroma and taste. Absolutely gorgeous looking stick with solid construction and no soft spots. Easy light. Perfect draw. Razor sharp burn without the need for correction. White ash. Started with cedar and very mild spice. A flavor of vanilla became apparent in the first third which was joined by a dusting of cocoa. A sweet leather note seemed to dance in and out through the whole smoke. The flavor profile didn't change much through the rest of the 1.5 hour experience, but was still most definitely enjoyable, epsecially as it matches my prefered flavor profile perfectly. Definitely one of my favorites - bought 10 more. All in all, it is similar to the Gran Cru natural, but with a slightly sweeter taste secondary to the maduro wrapper.
