First 1/3:

Initial puffs have a bit of cream, twang, and light leather. Settles pretty quickly into just leather with a slightly bitter after note. Plenty of smoke but very monochromatic flavorin the first third. Slightly uneven burn, and the white flakey ash held about 1.5 inches.

Second 1/3

Cigar remains predominantly leathery and the smoke is somewhat harsh starting the second third. Occasional sweet notes kick in but overall very monochromatic in flavor, though that single flavor is getting a little richer. Smoke seems a little hot on the draw.

Last 1/3

A bit hot and dry. Leather dominates, big volumes of smoke, but still off putting bitter after tones. Smoke is notably hot, towards the nub more earthy and tarry and even hotter.

Overall notes: Very simple in flavors, overall burned well, but had hot smoke throughout and disappointing bitter flavor notes. The cigar lasted about an hour and twenty minutes which was plenty long enough, though i put it down not very satisfied.
