Light: Easy. Medium to tight draw.
1st 3rd: Medium to mild body. Light tobacco with a sweet ring, but also an oily ring, & some cashew like nutty notes. Subtle, unobtrusive, light and pleasant.

2nd 3rd: Mostly the same. The sweet tobacco and oil ring combine to coat the roof of my mouth. Nutty still, like cashews. Pretty mellow and laid back.

3rd 3rd: A little more heavy now. Into the medium body category. Oily, but not too bitter. Sweet residual tobacco flavor. Nutty.

Overall impression: Nice mild to medium body cigar. Have to keep these in mind.
