When lighted, it produces lovely ash as it burns. This cigar is actually extremely smooth, despite the strange sensation that Mexican wrappers give you. This has a double cap, which is excellent, and is quite well-wrapped. After five minutes, the flavor transformed to one that was peppery, leathery, and slightly reminiscent of cedar after beginning with a delicate milk chocolate flavor. It is a full-body smoke, nothing overpowering, but it is still enjoyable.
The ash is already coming off, even though it hasn’t even been a third of the way through. More subtle flavors are emerging. The draw kind of has nutty chocolate in it. It has a beautiful, lengthy finish that leaves you with notes of pepper, earth, a tiny amount of spice, cedar, and at the very end, a trace of sweetness. I just perceived the ash itself as being a drawback.
The ash remains the same for my second third, it easily falls off. In terms of tastes, it became more chocolaty, tasting something like milk chocolate. Furthermore, the spice levels drop, leaving merely a cedar and peppery flavor—still a wonderful cigar.
I had to re-light it a few times for the final third, but it’s still smooth. The tastes are balanced; they remain the same yet have evolved. I really like how the chocolate, cream, and spice combined together to create a really complex cigar, which I think is fantastic. This time, there was more cedar, and there was also some spice and leather towards the end. The ash is really the only issue; otherwise, I appreciate how beautifully the tastes complement each other.
