Nice oily look for pre-light. Cut with simple guillitine cutter. Pre-light draw was even and good. Pre-light taste was nice. Lights easy with little work.

First third: I couldn't detect any distinct flavors, but it was full bodied. My pallete is not yet developed for cigars. It had an even burn with medium gray ash with touches of dark gray.

Second burn: Mellowed a bit, but still full bodied. It developed a nice creaminess without affecting the body. If anything I got some nice leather tones to it. Kept the ash very nicely, with an even burn around the cigar.

Last third: Not a lot different than the second third.

Overall impressions: Definitely a full bodied smoke. I smoked this one in the early afternoon. I wouldn't smoke one again at that time. It would go well after a nice grilled steak, accompanied by either a glass of port or cabernet.
