Exceedingly well balanced wood and leathery smoke.

Linear wood and leathery smoke. Great!

TL;DR - white pepper over a mild wood and leather core. A classic smoke that draws you back again and again. Worthy of its 96 rating and cigar of the year, 2012. Recommended 👍 Aged 13 mos, dry-boxed 12 hours ⏳️ Light-up is easy 👌 Goldilocks construction and draw. Initial impressions: white pepper developing over a mild wood core. A bit of leather comes and goes in the beginning. Halfway through the smoke is leathery, and a significant crack appears in the wrapper. Linear and extremely well balanced. Medium nuanced flavors and medium nicotine. Pairing: I think just about anything you like. A keeper.

Decent, heavy chocolate, peppery. Medium strength

Much stronger cigar. Excellent draw and burn. First third of the cigar was not so obvious for me in terms of flavours. For sure there was vanilla, carmel and spice. These notes got a little bit stronger and more spicy as the smoke went on. Somewhere near the half of the cigar almond notes started to kick in stronger and stronger with every puff of the cigar. At 2/3 of cigar there were basically the only notes that I could sense. I did not expected that but I must admit - it was a very tasty and pleasant surprise.

One of my favourites. Spicy, chocolate, smooth

Another gift but not a bad smoke. Hint of pepper at the light. Burn went awry at beginning but corrected itself. Ash held for more than half the stick, dark gray. Creamy with very light notes of cedar and leather.

Unfortunately this one was cut short due to rain, guess I should have kept a better watch on the forecast. At least it wasn’t an expensive stick but still one I hate to cut short.

Great draw and burn, but too pepper forward, no other flavours
