Another new cigar in a line of many that I have smoked recently. This cigar presents in a size that has become uncommon in the domestic marketplace, it is refreshing to these sizes every now and again. The cigar has a milk chocolate brown wrapper, there is some prominent veining and some fraying at the foot. The wrapper lacks oils and feels a little bit on the toothy side. The pre light aroma is floral and light. The pre light draw is of light tobacco and earth.
The cigar begins with notes of leather and light earth. The burn is nice and produces a solid white ash. The draw is a bit tight, but it produces ample smoke. There is a light floral sweetness at the back of the palate. The first half of the cigar maintains the mentioned profile.
At just past the halfway point I begin to detect some light tones of cocoa and tobacco, but a bitterness has surfaced at the back of the palate. The burn has stayed straight and the draw is acceptable.
In the last three eigths of the cigar a leathery note becomes prominent in the core of the profile, but vegetal notes are evident as well. These vegetal notes hurt the leathery core of the smoke. The construction has stayed acceptable and the draw is fine.
The finish is short and acrid, there are still some leathery notes, but this cigar was seriously hurt in the final third.
Appearance- 88 some veining and flaws at the foot hurt the score
Taste- 86 the cigar lacks depth, but develops some nice flavors
Construction- 89 this cigar is well made
Strength- 83 somewhere in the medium to full range, but not remarkable when compared to other characteristics of the cigar
Overall- 86.5 a slightly above average smoke that was hurt in the final stages
