1. Appearance & Construction.
From the outset this cigar looked real classy. Nice dark brown wrapper, smooth to touch and with no visible imperfections. Looked and felt like it had been rolled with care and the cigar had a nice weight to it. The label also looked real regal.
15/15.
2. Flavor and Aroma.
From the cold draw there was hints of chocolate, wood, coffee and a tiny bit of spice. After lighting this cigar just exploded with flavor. Nice, deep, bold and intense balanced perfectly. As the cigar progressed towards the 2nd and final 3rd the spiciness grew but didnt overpower the other flavours. Real unique flavor. However I did feel that something was lacking, maybe needed some element of creaminess or sweetness. Did however feel that this is more towards the medium to full category then just medium.
20/25.
3. Smoking Characteristics.
Cutting and lighting came easy for this cigar. There was an uneven burn throughout the course of the smoke and no amount of touching up was able to fix this. Kudos to the double binder element as it slowed down the burn and almost felt like it had doubled up the smoking time. Draw was real easy and at no point did I feel the smoke get hotter stayed cool throughout.
20/25.
4. Overall experience.
This was a great relaxing smoke. Slight uneven burn throughout but ash stayed on to the cigar till the label. Ash was a dark grey with spots of white. Smoked nicely, drew perfectly and tasted beautiful, however I did feel that something was lacking flavor wise but regardless this was a great cigar. Got a good 55 mins out of this.
28/35.
Total points : 83/100.
