Dark Chocolate wrapper. Seamless. Attractive and decorative band
Pre-light draw:
Tobacco and Toasted Nuts
Opening:
Coffee and lots of it.
First 3rd:
Coffee is still there but is almost kicked aside by a powerful but pleasant spice akin to cracked black pepper
Second 3rd:
Spice still prominent but has mellowed a lot. Coffee is making a slight return. Leather notes towards the end of the 3rd
Final 3rd:
Leather, Leather, Leather!! Creamy finish that when mixed with the lingering spice resembles a creamy pink peppercorn sauce.
Much the same as the Final 3rd with hints of Ceder creeping through.
Draw:
Perfect with plenty of smoke
Burn:
No complaints or issues. Straight all the way down.
Time to smoke:
Smoking slowly and enjoying every draw took me 1hr 25mins
Value for Money:
Like most of my Non-Cubans, I received this as a gift. I think they retail at a little under $5 (€3.75) and at this price are worth every penny. I think I will have to locate a box!!
Overall:
Loved this Cigar, I could have kept smoking for another hour. Starts off powerful and mellows as it goes ending in a lovely creamy finish to the Cigar. Fantastic flavours throughout and a true finger burner at the end!! Loved It.
