Review Notes: This is one of the most complex smokes I've had. Tawny brown wrapper with no soft spots. Fantastic prelight aroma. Easy light. Draw a bit tough in the first inch but eased up afterwards. Started with spice, mild leather, and floral notes with a hint of cinnamon, then developed into a fantastically complex, creamy flavor with espresso and tobacco that left a spiciness on the tongue that was throughly enjoyable!! No burn issues. Tons of white smoke and a gray slightly flaky ash. This stick from August '97 proved to be 45 minutes of sheer pleasure. This was gifted to me, and I will definitely be getting more!!
