The cigar is very dark and well made. It has a nice feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was good. The initial flavors at light up were a semi-sweet chocolate, dry nutmeg, brown sugar, orange citrus, and black coffee. There are a lot of dark notes in this cigar. There was black pepper rated at 7.
At the first third (30 minutes) I had citrus, brown sugar, nutmeg, dark chocolate, dry cocoa, and black coffee. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is cocoa and average lingering black pepper. The front end flavors, even though there are so many dark notes, are very good. They work well together. I rated the first third 94.
Moving through the second third (49 minutes) the dark chocolate and black coffee have risen. The sweeter notes are downplayed. This seems to happen a lot in the second third of cigars. The black pepper has increased a little. The cigar is still medium to full bodied. The finish is dry cocoa and black coffee. The cigar got darker. I rated the second third 92.
The cigar lasted 1 hour 9 minutes. The cigar bounced back pretty good. The citrus and brown sugar increased. There are some cedar notes now. There is still plenty of dark chocolate, cocoa, and black coffee. The cigar is now full bodied. The finish is cocoa and black coffee with pretty good lingering black pepper. The cigar got back very enjoyable again. It's very dark noted but quite nice. I rated the final third 94. Definitely worth a try. Check them out at atlcigar.co.
