General comments:
This cigar started off a bit slow, the aroma was good with hints of cinnamon and vanilla, fresh and gentle. The flavour was smooth, creamy with some spice but very very light. The taste only really started to develop after the first half of this cigar with the spiciness becoming more prominent. The last 3rd of this cigar was definitely the most exciting and interesting but construction let this one down with the wrapper starting to unfold at this point, it also lacked a bit of sweetness all through.
This smoke did however highlight the quality in flavour difference between hand made and machine made cigars - so my recommendation is stay away from machine made cigars. I'm also looking forward to something a little more fuller, maybe a robustos or short churchill next.
