This is a cigar that feels refined from the moment you pick it up. Dark, oily and box pressed, it has a lovely smoothness in the hand and a reassuring weight.

The draw is beautifully open without ever feeling loose, producing thick, creamy smoke with little effort. Construction throughout is excellent, the burn line stays impressively straight and consistent from start to finish, requiring almost no maintenance along the way.

Flavour wise, this cigar leans rich and indulgent. Notes of coffee bean, cedar and cocoa powder lead the way, backed by a gentle honey sweetness that keeps everything balanced. There is definitely a spicy edge to it at the beginning, giving the smoke a bit of intensity early on, but this gradually softens as the cigar develops.

While the spice mellows out in the second half, the flavour strength itself never drops away. If anything, the cigar becomes creamier and slightly sweeter towards the second half, making it an incredibly easy cigar to stay with for the full smoke.

Despite its fuller strength profile, it never feels overpowering or harsh, making it the sort of cigar you could happily smoke at any time of day.

Ultimately, for a cigar that delivers bold flavours, excellent construction and a smooth, evolving smoking experience, this is an easy one to recommend.
