Appearance - a lustrous reddish brown color, uniform with very few thin veins.
Construction - the draw and elasticity are good.
Pre-light taste - a spicy tangy taste in the beginning with a few sweet notes.
Initial lighting - a blast of spice fills the palate with a few earthy and sweet notes peeking through.
Aromas - this time the smells are different, and it is like burning tobacco. Surprisingly not the bakery smells I am usually accustomed to.
Flavours of the smoke - the cigar is unbalanced, the spice overpowers all the other notes and flavours, although they do make their presence known in the overall scheme of flavours, the spice stays strong even till the nub.
Summary - Spicy, and spicy is good, the cigar is still enjoyable but doesn't rate up there with some of the other well balanced ones. 17 more to go, and I am looking forward to finishing this series of reviews so I can finally start leisurely enjoying smoking the cigar for what it is rather than concentrating on the flavours.
