This cigar really took me by surprise. It is probably the most complex cigar I've ever smoked at such a young age.

Overall impression - Medium to full body - spicy floral


The cigar started out full bodied with strong pepper. The pepper quickly changed to spice and floral notes. About an inch into the cigar it completely changed its profile to a thick buttery cream flavor. Totally unexpected and came out of nowhere. Within a half an inch the profile changed to cherry with spice. As I continued smoking the flavor changed back again to floral notes with spice. The spice quickly intensified until a salty, woody floral character came. The spice subsided somewhat but once it came in the beginning it never left.

The cigar is not my typical taste but I can respect how great the cigar is at such a young age. In a year I can only imagine how good it can be.

Grab a box if you can. Bury them in your coolidor for at least a year and you'll have a great cigar on your hands.
