A first form me and a pleasant surprise. First inch was all cream then a pop of pepper. Toothy wrapper draw was spot on. Strong flavored reminds me a bit of a pardon 3000 without the strong nicotine. A little wavy in the burn no correction needed. Seemed to settle out after the first 3rd as far as flavor and transitions. Nice cool burn. I only bought a single but will pick up a 5pack to see how they do with age. Only 2 months humidor time.
The closed foot on the cigar provides an immediate hit of spice that turns into a blend of spice and coffee pretty quickly. The draw and burn remained pretty adequate throughout and a boldness of rich tobacco lingered until the end.
