Review Notes: It has an oily dark chocolate wrapper, and not so viney. It¡¦s a bit hard to clip, with a good cap construction. Pre-light draw is smooth, with a hint of pepper. It has a nice straight resting smoke, and it burns slow. Smooth draw, with strong taste of cocoa, hints of sweetness and woody note, slight hints of spice and licorice. It¡¦s a medium-full bodied cigar, with rich tastes (bit of complexity). The ash is gray and firm, not at all flaky. Ash held for about an inch and a quarter before it falls off. Burn is a bit uneven. It was harsh for the first third, but smoke became smooth afterwards. The taste of spice isn¡¦t harsh. It doesn¡¦t mean it¡¦s not strong, cuz the tongue tingles a bit from the spices. The cigar doesn¡¦t burn hot, and it¡¦s tasty. Sort of like a dash of spice on a nice steak. Spent 50 minutes smoking this great cigar, and nubbed it!
