The first third is crisp and refreshing, and then it builds up to a full-bodied flavour. The palate combines the fullness of aged cedar, floral notes on the retrohale and vanilla sweetness on the finish, with hay, chocolate and spice flavours, with a near-perfect construction for a top quality cigar with outstanding flavour. With an Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper and Dominican filler, and a binder that is handmade in the Dominican Republic using a mystery blend, this cigar is a gem at a great price.
