Good looking cigar, the wrapper had notes of mint for me and after cutting it was easy to light. It had been in my Boveda for almost a year. It held it's shape extremely well and the first drop of ash didn't depart until an impressive (almost) two inches was present. An easy and consistent draw, I did have to re-light a few times but this was more during the last 2/3rds and I am a very mellow smoker so perhaps more likely to need re-lighting. The flavour was pretty consistent throughout the first 2/3rds...a touch of dark chocolate, a slight earthiness, light toasted almond overtones and just the slightest hint of spice/pepperiness. The last 3rd had a somewhat savoury undertone and wasn't as pleasant as the first 2/3rds. I enjoyed this with freshly brewed white coffee laced with a cheeky shot of Canadian Club whisky. A pleasant cigar offering c60+ minutes of pleasure for a very mellow smoker. Not sure if I would purchase again but certainly worth a try if you're branching out into New World cigars or switching up from mild to medium strength smokes.
