Tasting Notes: leathery, woody, spice Appearance: The look of the cigar is a medium to dark brown wrap Origins: the origins are from Honduras. First Third: Straight from the light I get hints of leather, woody and a slight bit of pepper. The draw is excellent and it also gives a great amount of smoke off of every hit. The cigar hits the medium mark I’d say. Second third: About 30 minutes in I’m getting the same leather notes with a slight hint of pepper and some natural tobacco sweetness. Last Third: Going into the last third of the cigar. The cigar kept the woody tasting notes throughout the entire smoke. Overall a great smoke I would recommend to anyone that wants a consistent and good smoke. Picked on 04/16/2024

Tasting Notes: Bold cigar with leathery and cedar notes Appearance: The look of the cigar is a dark brown with a slight oily finish First Third: Straight from the light I get hints of ceder and earthy tobacco. The draw is excellent but not a thick flow of smoke. The cigar hits the medium mark I’d say. Second third: About 20 minutes in I’m getting the same cedar and leather notes with a slight hint of pepper. Burn is still perfect and has not had to be re-lit once yet. Last Third: Going into the last third of the cigar. The smoke production has gone from light smoke to heavy smoke. It’s kept its consistency through the smoke not a super complex cigar. It has kept the same tasting notes the entire time. Overall a great smoke I would recommend to anyone that wants a consistent and good smoke. Picked on 01/10/2024

Notes: Bold pepper/spice and cedar from the light of the cigar Appearance: The look of the cigar is a very dark oily look First Third: Upon lighting up I'm greeted by a mix of dried cedar and maduro sweetness with just a hint of pepper. The draw is excellent, and the cigar is pouring out a ton of dense smoke. The cigar hits the medium-full mark right out of the gate. Second third: About 40 minutes in I’m in the second third I’ve been hit with slight notes of coffee. The spice is still a prevalent flavor in this second third part of the smoke. The smoke is still very dense, and the burn is perfect. This is categorized as a medium body cigar BUT I would put this as a full body cigar. As someone that is a daily cigar smoker this one seems to be a heavy smoke. Last Third: At about 1 hour and 20-minute point I'm at the final third. Spice, espresso, and leather have taken off the flavor profile. The wrapper appearance has stood strong still dark and very oily. The high nicotine content is still present. The cigar begins to get hot and bitter with about an inch left of the smoke. So, I’ll be putting it out now. Total smoke time 2 hours and 10 minutes. Final thoughts, a very good thick smoke. This is cigar you have after a full meal and a smoke that would pair great with a Cabernet Sauvignon or a nice smooth Bourbon. Overall, a great smoke I would recommend to anyone that wants a bold smoke with tons of flavor. Picked on 11/10/2023
