Price - ~$8
Pre Light - Cedar, barnyard, pepper
Cold Draw - Cedar, sweet tobacco
Appearance - Light brown
Light - Sweet spice, cedar, pepper
1st Third - Huge blast of pepper and cedar. The kind of pepper that holds in the back of your throat. Some creaminess and malt sweetness in finish. Retrohale is peppery and woody. Medium-full body and strength.
2nd Third - The pepper tones down and the profile sweetens up. Malt, honey, cream, sweet spice, cedar, pepper, and a little mocha in the finish. Retrohale carries the same flavors with more pepper. Medium full body and strength.
Final Third - The profile stays the same but the flavors are nicely balanced. Same for the retrohale. Medium full body and strength.
Construction - Nice easy draw and great smoke production, burned slightly wavy but still even, sturdy ash.
Overall - Really flavorful aromatic cigar. The first third was one of the spiciest blasts Ive had in a while. Nice transition in the profile as well.
