Had as nice mild spice on the finish. Tasted of earthy tobacco. Slightly sweet on the draw.

The cigar turned around about halfway through the 3rd though and became a little more spicy with a hint of sweet. It wasn't overly smooth and changed from what I had thought was a milder cigar into a medium body. I had a nasty crack in the cap of this one so I was kind of fighting that and the burn was a bit more uneven than I like but overall the cigar at this point was not bad.
