I don't even know where to start. This was an amazing cigar. Flavors abound from start to finish. Construction was perfect and it felt solid in my hand.



It starts off with a nice oak flavor. The smoke is thick and creamy, making me want to chew it. The flavors are constantly changing. I quickly pick up a nice leather note, then the next draw brings about a spicy pepper note.



The burn on this thing was amazing. I can't recall a more perfect burn. Moving a bit further into this smoke, I pick up some dried apricots. Again the flavors keep moving and I get a nice raisin flavor. This thing is all over the spectrum, and deliciously so !



The remainder of this smoke continues to give off the oak, leather, raisin, and spice flavors. It's almost like I can't wait for the next draw to see what the surprise will be. I am absolutely going to find some more of these.



While I did get a tiny bit light headed about half way through, nothing was really overpowering about this cigar. I can't say it was a strong cigar, and I would put it towards the high end of medium bodied. The flavors that came from this thing were really a treat. I actually found myself licking my teeth trying to get just another taste.
