Tasting Notes:
The cigars hits the ground running with some intense notes of cedar, and spice. The cedary spicy characteristics are soon complemented nicely by a nutty sweetness. The sweetness lingers pleasantly on the finish. Pepper is extremely prevalent on the retrohale, settling firmly on the back of your palate. As the cigar progress leather becomes one of the more predominant flavors with some subtle notes of coffee. Overall this cigar is an excellent, rich, and full bodied smoke with ample of amounts of complexity and smoothness. ~Brandon Ribbing, 2017
