1st 1/3
Classic Nicaraguan peppery start, salty, cocoa, spice, sweet wood, light coffee and earth.
Perfect draw, straight burn, starts off as a medium body, white gray ash.

2nd 1/3
The pepper has almost faded completely with the spice very much intact as the dominate note.

The flavor is more a rich milk chocolate, with a bit of espresso with a hint of oak and hay.
The aroma is very pleasant in the air off this cigar in the patio.

Could be creamery to off-set the spice for my taste, remains in the medium to full range.
Burn has required no corrections and the draw has remained excellent.

Final 1/3
The cigar is now getting a little creamery with the prevailing spice notes winning out and a nice after taste on the palette.

The notes of light milk chocolate, espresso, oak, and hay all remain.
For me a medium full body stick, with a slight nicotine buzz.

Cigar has been cool burning with my slow draws, keeping the flavors manageable.

This cigar reminds me of the Pinolero by AJ Fernandez that is a little smoother and less expensive.
