Smooth, light flavor great for first smoke of the day in the first 2/3. Final 1/3 came with a little woody pepper. Great draw but appearance was not good with a split near the cap and a weird texture on the foot. I’d smoke it again but wouldn’t buy a box.

Well constructed. Nice Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. First third mellow, woodsy, mild to medium, flavor is direct, not layered. Slight flavor build in the middle with intro of pepper and cream. Burn still even, nice draw and smoke volume. Return to earth flavors - wood, nuts- rounding third base, hit of charred steak makes for a nice finish.
Well constructed mellow cigar. Two weeks in the humidor. Uneven burn in the transition from middle to final third but it sorted itself out, no touchups necessary. Did not burn "hot" at the end. Been trying some milder cigars with the weekend morning coffee. This earns a place in the rotation.
