SMOKING NOTES:

Before lighting up

The pre-light draw tells us it will draw well and give a light cedar flavor. Showcasing sweet notes with some cedar hints, and a pleasant deep spiciness.

Burn/ Draw

Even burn throughout and a mouth filling draw with billowing smoke.

Initial third:

The aromas that stand out in the first third are spices and leathery notes. After the first few draws, the cinnamon and ginger flavors are joined by coffee and cacao notes. The cigar is very well balanced in terms of flavors. All the spicy flavors are in full blown by the end of the first third.

Middle third:

The second third continues on the same path, with the addition of moist soil aromas that reveals the richness of the cigar. Many flavors start appearing, bitterness from coffee aromas, spice from cinnamon, sweetness from caramel. The burn is still perfect and the draw remains amazing as well.

Final third:

The final third is once again incredibly rich. The mixture of spices and bitterness is still incredibly there, with notes of Asian spices and bitter chocolate. Herbal touches also start appearing towards the end, and all that makes a cigar that is hard to put down. This gem delivers it until the nub.

In summary, many aficionados claim this is the best cigar in the world, right up there with the Hoyo De Monterrey double corona.
