A nice leathery taste with a citrus/orange brightness. A slight coffee aftertaste appeared after the first third. Retrohale is spicy but not overpowering with a but of nutmeg spice. There's also a nuttiness I can't quite place. Maybe chestnut or pecan. Good draw and burn with nice flavor and aroma. Definitely one of the better Hair of the Dog I've smoked. Wrapper is a dull tan with some Colorado red hue and a slight oiliness. First ash fell off after about an inch and a half. Ash is loose but sturdy enough to hold tight, grayish white with some black lines. The leathery flavor lasted through the whole cigar without much nuance but was very enjoyable start to finish.
