The first taste attracted me, slightly sweet, black pepper, leather and a little spice, the opening is quite amazing. Among the non-Gou I smoked recently, the first part of this one left a deep impression on me

After having this all I can say is wow. What an incredible cigar. The depth of flavor on this is unmatched. The wrapper is oily and oozing with flavor. I get cedar, cocoa and an incredibly creamy finish. The construction on this is great. The flavors just dance on your tongue. You do get a slight spice in black pepper. I was blown away by this cigar and I would give it 6 stars if possible but 5 will have to do. Incredible!
