Appearance
The cigar has a light oily sheen. One prominent vein. Seams are tight and nearly invisible. Light brown in color.
Aroma
Light cedar notes on the wrapper. Cedar and a hint of spice at the foot.
Prelight Draw
Cedar and some light hay.
1st
The initial draws are a bit snug. I'm sure it will loosen up as the cigar burns. The cedar comes thru right away with a subtle hint of spice. It also shows a bit of leather. The flavors are creamy as the name would hint. The burn line is off about 30*. The strength is mild to medium at this point. The ash is salt&pepper gray and slightly flaky. Near the end of the 1st/3rd the spice and strength ramp up. The spice is like allspice.
2nd
By the start of the 2nd/3rd the cigar has fully self corrected. No touch ups or re lights have been needed. The spice has mellowed somewhat allowing cashew notes to emerge. The spice vacillates back and forth. Since self correcting the burn has been spot on.
Final/3rd
Since the halfway point of the cigar the ash has been tight and holds on til I ash at each third. Flavors continue as in the first 2/3's. A very creamy buttery enjoyable smoke. Thanks to Bill Bromley for the review samples. Follow Bill @BBromley on Twitter. And give these very enjoyable cigars a try.
