The cigar is dark and well made. It has a light feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was a little tight so I used the PerfecDraw tool to open the draw. The initial flavors at light up were a very sweet lime/pear combination with a lot of brown sugar, cinnamon, and black coffee. There was black pepper rated at 7 1/2 to 8. A very sweet/dark start. Very nice.
At the first third (16 minutes) I had the same notes.Pear is your primary flavor with lime secondary, a lot of brown sugar, sprinklings of cinnamon,, and a lot of black coffee. The cigar is very sweet and very dark. There are adequate amounts of both. The cigar is medium bodied and leaning toward medium to full. The finish is black coffee and light pear with very good lingering black pepper. I rated the first third 95.
Moving through the second third (33 minutes) there is a little earthiness and the black coffee is slightly elevated. The pear, lime, and brown sugar still come through but the are a little muffled. The cigar is medium to full bodied. I rated the second third 94.
The cigar lasted 47 minutes. A short burn time but what a nice cigar. The earthiness went away and the black coffee fell back in line. The nice lime/pear/brown sugar notes went back to their first third amounts with a little cinnamon. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish now is pear with very good lingering black pepper. This is an excellent short cigar. I rated the final third 95. Put these on your must try list.
