Pre-light Experience
Visually, this is a stunning cigar. A perfectly applied triple cap tops off this dark roast coffee wrapper. The small veins and near invisible seams are a welcome sight compared to a lot of premium smokes these days. A little leather and hay come off the wrapper with some sweetness present at the foot and on the cold draw.
Second Third
The smoothness of the leather allows for some sweetness of tobacco to really come through in the profile. The oak begins to transition to more of a cedar with a touch of allspice in the background. The original earthiness fades in favor of some baking spices. The balance between the flavors, however, remains perfect.
Draw
Somewhere between the first and second third, the draw tightened up a bit before opening back up for the duration. Outside of that, this was a pretty effortless smoking cigar.
Overall
I could smoke this cigar everyday. While the flavors weren’t overly complex, they were always very good and well balanced. There were nice transitions through the thirds beginning with a robust earthy oak to a sweeter cedar and allspice and finally a richer char with some dark roast coffee highlights. Definitely a cigar to keep in rotation. Great for a daily smoker or for special occasions.
