Probably the most attractive looking wrapper I've ever seen, slightly mottled, it has a red/brown mahogany colour and has so much oil on the surface it appears to be made of velvet. The band is a masterclass in understated elegance, it looks like the label on a small batch, artisan bourbon...which it would undoubtedly pair with magnificently.
Cut with a guillotine the draw was somewhat airy, which is honestly the only thing I'd change, construction was utterly flawless, well packed and even with zero corrections or touch ups needed, smoke output was perfect, thick and cool.
Flavours are initially potent with lots of pepper alongside rich, earthy notes and espresso coffee, it settles into a complex balance of dry cedar, leather and cacao alongside a surprising lemony schezwan pepper...compete with the subtle numbing effect.
Strength is surprisingly low, body is consistently medium, would actually be a decent cigar for a reative newcomer...if not for the complexity.
Can't recommend enough, buy lots of them.
