Review Notes: 73 days in humi. A beauty to observe. The black, red and gold classy band looks great against this almost black cigar. Fairly smooth wrapper with some veins and an attractive oily sheen. Very heavy,solid and tightly packed feel. Rich pre-light aroma of well fermented tobaccos, anise and earth. Burn is even and strong throughout the entire smoke, but the draw was just a bit too tight which knocked it down a notch. Flavors were full but extremely smooth and creamy with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, leather against a faint background of licorice and pepper. Leaves a slight sweetnees on the lips. For such a dark leaf this was a very smooth smoker. Excellent!
