Review Notes: Dark veinless wrapper with solid, firm construction. Hole punched, with the pre-draw having a dry leather taste. Grayish white ash that hung on an inch at a time. After lighting the dry leather taste was there with a peppery background that mellowed after a few puffs. Middle of the cigar , a nutty Dominican tobacco taste kicked in with the pepper still in the background. Pepper subsides for the last third, the lingering strength of this cigar stays in your mouth. Kept me interested down to the last half inch.
