Beautiful perfecto, dark, oily wrapper, a few bumps, maybe the wrapper is a bit thin? Foot smell (ew!) was pretty benign, as was cold draw, not a lot there.
First third - the aroma is fantastic, sweet smell, caramel / vanilla ish. Starts out with cedar & toasted nuts, a little bitterness, but fades quickly. Maybe a French toast flavor shows briefly, it’s hard to put a description on some of these subtle flavors. So far so good.
2nd third - have been noticing a little sweetness on my lips, not Swisher Sweet strong, subtle. Cocoa or is it chocolate flavor shows up, a brief hit of citrus, but mild. Pepper is mild, maybe white pepper, but definitely not a spicy cigar. Dominant flavor is toasted something.
Final third - leather, straight forward tobacco dominates, still some toasted flavor, but it’s fading. Noticed a slight ammonia in aroma, not powerful.
Final thoughts - fantastic construction, not 1 touch up needed. Some complexity, not a flavor bomb but not boring, very pleasant cigar, aroma was outstanding. Score - 89, but how in TF do I assign a number
. I’d buy more, but not go crazy & pimp the dog out for more $ crazy.
