Kinda soft black pepper, but it's very much present - just not sharp. It doesn't cut the nose enough to make you're eyes water, but you'll definitely feel the burn - just more softly. Probably like Dracula's bite - you know he's latched, but it's probably almost painless because of his finesse, and you can elegantly feel the pepper of your life slowly being drained away.

The black pepper dominates, amd is pretty much the showcase of this cigar. Kinda like Dracula's black cape and formal attire - his trademark appearance (taste).


Black cherry is nicely intermixed with the pepper. Again, not sharp nor nowhere near a lot - but it's like the blood running down your neck with Dracula's bite - probably not a lot, because that's not what he'd (you) would like.

Cinnamon hints can be noticed here and there - just like the visual hints Dracula may give you of his presence when he's near.

The stick kinda became a little bland near the half mark - not sure if it was me. It did come back with purging and resting - but not quite as good as it progressed.

Trial By Smoke Judgement.

Good stick, and I'd definitely get another single. I'm not sure of the solidity, but reviews have been pretty positive - so I'll stay optimistic. Recommended to all.
