Cigar Review

First Third

Absolute creamy sweetness on the cold draw with a phenomenal wrapper flavor. Notes of sweet vanilla cream and coffee dominate, accompanied by a slight nuttiness and just the smallest amount of spice on the finish. The sweet vanilla cream continues consistently, joined by light notes of coffee and pepper. As the ash breaks off just before the end of the first third, subtle cedar begins to emerge while sweetness remains prominent and a touch more pepper appears on the finish. Plenty of sweet cream notes persist, along with a little pepper, slight sweet coffee, and increasingly noticeable cedar.

Second Third

Sweet leather and earthy notes start to develop while the cigar remains quite sweet, delivering a very sweet aroma. Construction continues to impress with a great burn line. The sweetness evolves into a caramel like coffee note with slight pepper on the finish. The aroma shifts into a sweet cream character similar to the palate notes from the first third. Toward the end of the second third, a slight bit of dark chocolate and leather appear on the finish. Sweetness remains strong on both the palate and finish. As the second third concludes, leather begins to ramp up; sweetness is still present but less prominent than before, yet the cigar stays thoroughly enjoyable.

Final Third

More sweet leather arrives, accompanied by a slight creamy note and mild pepper on the finish. A fruit flavor almost banana like emerges (possibly an evolution of the earlier sweet cream notes). Leather and coffee remain on the finish, while a cinnamon note slowly creeps in alongside the leather. A very clear fruit note continues through the final third, joined by a touch of dark chocolate. The transition is excellent, finishing with slight pepper and sweet leather. Pepper increases a bit, still paired with dark chocolate and a sweet white pepper finish. At the halfway point of the final third, cedar returns along with sweeter chocolate, black coffee, and some leather on the finish. Sweetness strengthens again compared to the second third; leather remains prominent on the palate, while the finish offers black coffee and less sweet leather, with cedar reappearing in the mix. Right at the very end, another wave of sweetness arrives, followed by a sweet finish of leather and an espresso note.

Conclusion
An absolutely amazing cigar. A sublime and box worthy cigar with outstanding construction and a beautifully evolving flavor profile. The burn line remained perfect throughout, and the experience stayed highly enjoyable from start to finish.
