The name really speaks for itself. A little spicy peppery and slightly sweet chocolate flavour cigar. But I wish the flavours can be more full-bodied.

I wanted to like this cigar a lot more than I actually did. It was rather bland and with not a lot going on. Definitely not for my palate BUT I know a lot of people who swear by them so it’s up to you to decide where you fall
