1st Third - The flavors start to build into a long sweet finish of coffee and dark chocolate with a touch of pepper and nuttiness. Every now and then theres a brief nuance of dark fruit. Retrohale is pepper and tea. Silky mouthfeel, med-full body and strength.
2nd Third - The profile picks up a little bit of a grainy note and some malty sweetness in the finish but otherwise doesn't change much. Same goes for the retrohale. Med-full body and strength.
Final Third - The sweetness has picked up a nice salted caramel character. The spice also picks up a little. Still hanging on to the same profile for the most part though. Retrohale is still pepper and tea. Med-full body and strength.
Construction - Nice easy draw, even burn, good smoke production sturdy ash.
Overall - A very rich and flavorful cigar with a long complex finish. Great body and mouthfeel.
