Pre Light - Hay, cedar,

Cold Draw - Earthy tobacco, leather, cedar

Appearance - Light brown, toothy yet smooth, oily, noticeable veins and seams, nice closed foot. Band is also unique.

Light - Nutty, earthy, black pepper, cocoa

1st Third - Peppery woodiness, nutty, salty, some creamy mocha notes in the finish. Retro is smooth and brings in some sweet spice and a bit more cream. Silky oily mouthfeel. Medium strength and light-medium body.

2nd Third - The profile stays the same but the pepper and wood tone way back making all the flavors pretty balanced. Medium body and strength.

Final Third - A bit of sweetness joins the profile while the earthy pepper notes start to creep back in especially in the retrohale. Medium body and strength.

Construction - Draw is a bit too loose with no resistance. Huge smoke production, slightly wavy but even burn, sturdy ash.

Overall - Though a bit mild for me this was a tasty smoke that was medium all around as far as body, strength, and flavor. Price is a little high but worth a try for those that like a good medium smoke. One thing I really enjoyed about this cigar was the silky oily mouthfeel.
