Revisitation after approximately three months. I noticed a developing complexity not noticed before and thought I'd share my impression.
To say the least, it is an impressive cigar. I can already detect a slight plume starting to develop. The cigar had a perfect roll, perfect draw, the clipped end was not too shabby in itself if I may add. I imagined this would be a nice smoke. I picked this cigar tonight because an uncle of mine was recently placed in the ICU and I'm feeling pretty bad about that, I wanted to smoke it while I am in good health and enjoying life.
The cigar started out more mellow. About half an inch in white pepper appeared and remained for about another half inch. After about the first inch the pepper left and became a very modest, smooth smoke...not distinctly tobacco flavor as I am use to, rather a chocolaty, hay-ish flavor. On further in, the smoke became very light, similar to a Torano Virtuoso. About midway the smoke became more medium bodied, with a slight spicyness. Harshness was nonexistent. I couldn't help to think this is a true connoisseur's cigar. Another inch or so and the flavor changed again, more towards a muted finish, where I then let it die down. Overall it was very good, very complex. I won't smoke another any time soon.
