AJ Fernandez new world oscuro

Picked up one of these locally. Nice looking cigar, unlit aroma is amazing.
Lit it, and the nose was all burning, can't exhale through the nose at all due to the overwhelming pepper. Kept it going a bit and it tamed down some, can nose some now, but not much nuance besides strength... Turning to woodiness now that initially wasn't great but is starting to open into a touch of creaminess that is decent.
Finished it... Had some notes of nice woodiness, but overall wasn't great. I kept hoping it would improve, and it did a little, but it never got good.
