Initial Light
Slightly firm draw, but very workable. Uniquely pleasant toasty smoke with a subtle hint of mint.
First 1/3:
Firmness of draw improves to near perfection. The cigar becomes thought provoking as the minty taste becomes a welcome change.
Second 1/3:
The cigar has character. The wrapper remains solid as the even burn and beautiful ash indicate. The flavor continues to improve as well.
Final 1/3:
Full of complex flavors. Burnt toast flavors are revealed with hints of sweetness as the minty flavor subsides. This cigar must be smoked completely in order to be fully appreciated. A nice change.
