6" x 38
Another big thanks to @SweetCigars for sending me more delicious 5 Vegas sticks!
I was so excited to just dig into this one that I forgot to take any notes on the foot or cold draws. Here's when I finally remembered to take a picture of it:

Cream, tobacco and a powdered milk taste were the earliest tastes. The cigar had a mild spice on the retrohale.
After the first 1" ends, I start to get some sweetness.
Another inch in, the 1st 1/3rd is coming to an end, and the spice on the retrohale increases to a mild-medium amount of spice.
I think I've identified the sweetness as licorice!
1/2way now, some leather notes appear, and tobacco moves to the head of the line.
As the last 1/3rd begins the draw begins to get tougher, and I try my hand at purging the cigar. It helps, but only for one more puff, so I decide to call it.

Total burn time was 70 minutes.
