Light: Easy to light, with a light to medium draw.

1st 3rd: Rich and smooth. Lots of (like a red hot) spice and sweet tobacco with a great oily bitter balance. Full body and full flavor.

2nd 3rd: Still rich and smooth. Leathery with sweet tobacco and oily counterpart. The oily is a bit more dominant now, and is a great accent. Leaves an aftertaste. A dry profile.

3rd 3rd: Getting very saturating with flavors and aftertaste. Oily is dominant and resonant. Woodsy, oily and still that “red hot” spice. Not as much of the sweet tobacco now.

Overall impression: Really nice cigar. Great compliment to the rich Porter.

Thank you, you know who.
