General comments:
The wrapper has a fresh grassy aroma with some oiliness. It's very light off the bat with some burnt creamy espresso and some sweetness coming through. The draw was light with a good smoke volume. What is appealing with this cigar is the felling of quality - it's appearance, feel in the hand, draw, flavour, construction, the whole package is really good.
Early on in the cigar and it already gives a taste sensation, after the first third some spiciness starts to develop. The second third the creaminess starts to fade but it maintains some oiliness. At this point the cigar is just really fresh and cool, it feels like it's the type of cigar that you would smoke at a sporting event maybe like a posh horse race event. It doesn't demand to much attention but does it's job really well.
The last third spiciness dominated with a pleasant tobacco flavour, burn and construction were superb. All in all a very good smoke.
