Cigars - From OCT05. No plume present. I would have to say it is one of my favorite cigars, in my top 10. Because it is so small, the flavor profile does not change much. You can expect the cigar to be great tasting. Upon lighting, my first thoughts are of black pepper and classic Partagas flavor. Over the course of the cigar, the peppery character toned down but overall the cigar intensified with more complexity....woodsy, spicy, creamy. The cigar just kept getting better and better towards the end. I would love to try another one in a year but I doubt seriously my box will last that long.
