This is a shockingly good cigar, one of their higher rated ones I figured I'd give it a shot. Not as much pepper as you would expect to win reading up about it online, really rich profile with some cream. Had to do a couple of touch-ups so would like to see a little bit better construction, but I also didn't even let this sit in the humidor for one day after having it shipped in before smoking it. It might just be some poor humidity control, and a bit too much eagerness on my part.

A good cigar, I have reviewed a couple of times and some days I enjoy it better than others. It is pretty humid out today so it is hard to say if this is the cigar and it's Prime time. Burning well though, looks good, drawing well, and tastes pretty good. Nothing crazy but not bad.

A crudo sento cacao e caffè. Appena acceso, risulta subito sapido con sentori di fogliame, legno pregiato e torrefazione. La cenere è solida e compatta, ottima costruzione. A metà sigaro compare un sentore di cuoio e una speziatura leggermente piccante. Il finale porta il registro di forza da media a piena, gli aromi diventano più intensi, il fumo diventa più denso e si aggiunge un sentore di terra umida al cuoio, che predominano in questa fase. 80 min

creamy, refined profile marked by toasted almonds, soft honey, and sweet cedar, finished with a subtle trace of light baking spice.
