Initial Light

On initial lighting the burn was a little uneven and it didn't produce much in terms of smoke volume. The draw was free and easy.

First 1/3:

The burn evened out fairly quickly fortunately. The two different wrappers give you an interesting flavor experience, giving you at one moment a rich cocoa flavor and in the next a completely different woody, spicy flavor.

Second 1/3:

The body was consistently medium and the finish was decidedly smooth and, with burn much more even now it was producing much more smoke. Once you reach the second third the two flavors began to blend with each other much better. The finish became that much more creamy and the strength began to build a bit.

Final 1/3:

This was really the situation right to the end, with a medium to full body, plenty of those rich woody, spicy, coffee/cocoa flavors and a wonderful aroma to the smoke. Probably not an everyday smoke at that price but certainly a cigar I would smoke again.
