General comments:
This is just a pure quality cigar. The aroma is sweet and woody, fantastic construction, excellent draw, excellent burn and superbly balanced flavours. The start of the smoke the body was possibly light to medium with this developing to a solid medium from after the first third. The flavours were so smooth and creamy that I had to consciously slow my self down. The spicy sweetness that started off developed into a spicy creamy butterscotch that became a manly spicy butterscotch after the second third. Fresh earthy woody tones maintained throughout the smoke and completely balanced with the spice, cream and sweetness.
Wow, I struggled to put this one down. Being a beginner I don't think I'm giving the complexity of the flavours the justice they deserve. I'm so glad I have another two in my humidor, I'll let them sit for a bit of time and then look forward to seeing how they develop and hopefully so does my pallet for such a fine cigar. I highly recommend giving this a go.
