This 4 7/8 x 50 stick offers a dark brown wrapper with a slight red hue, very firm construction, minimal veins, tight seams, a double cap and a peppery tobacco aroma. First light reveals a heavy, deep oily and rich tobacco with a slight pepper kick on the finish, giving a medium-full body with plenty of thick smoke and a firm draw. The first third holds much of the first light impressions, adding a caramel and dropping most of the pepper. The 1/2 way point comes at 40 min in with no changes to the profile, continuing the perfect burn. Ending at 1
0 the stick has a great time to size ratio! Flavors in the last third remained unchanged, providing a very consistent experience from start to finish with flawless construction. Video on the site.
