There’s been three awesome previous Private Keep releases in the unbanded pig-tail cap 6 x 52 toro, the Aqua, Chartreuse and Tangerine, with this being the fourth installment, Lemon. This year’s PK cigar has an attractive light-brown wrapper with a semi-closed foot. The cigar starts off immediately producing lots of smoke but it is very well packed, offering ample resistance on the draw. There are flavors of cream, cinnamon, and cedar in the first third, then in the second third, transitions to having more floral notes with the occasional hint of leather. The last third burned a little hot, had hints of white pepper on the tongue, and the cedar notes resurfaced. Overall a very enjoyable smoke!
