Got a lot of pepper taste with this one. The smoke from the cigar had a wood aroma but all I got was pepper. As it progressed the pepper taste seemed to diminish from where it started. The last 1/3 of the smoke provided me with a slight alcohol aftertaste, as if having sipped some vodka or whiskey.
The size is a smaller than I would normally go for but it put out plenty of smoke. This is an extremely mild cigar, in my opinion, and the taste is about as close to that of a Cuban. Overall, very enjoyable
