Medium full bodied and full flavors from this beauty. Aesthetically it’s a very nice cigar. The construction was excellent too, big stacks of ash and a perfect burn and draw. The flavors were a little overly assertive for my liking. The pepper component was bordering on harsh, but never completely overwhelmed me. Here is a good amount of earth to this as well, but a bit of natural sweetness keeps it balanced. A fine cigar to be sure, but for the price point I don’t think I’ll return to it often.
