Appearance -a dull milk chocolate brown adorns this cigar, with a tear near the head. The cap is secured and the tear doesn't compromise the cut, but later as the cherry moves up the cigar, it unravels a bit and reveals some of the binder, although the draw and overall functionality is not compromised.
Construction - the draw is a bit tight, but still able to get mouthfuls of smoke and flavour. Elasticity is not an issue despite the slight overfilling.
Pre-light taste - spicy cinnamon and tangy licorice as the staple flavours of the line and this one is no exception. Floral notes are present.
Initial lighting - spicy, sweet, sour, tangy, earthy, coffee, vanilla. Seems like a good cigar to accompany a modest beverage, but water is still the main accompaniment
Aromas - as I keep smoking these, I imagine myself outside a bakery where freshly made cinnamon raisin bagels are made. Yes, just like that.
Flavours of the smoke - Not the perfect cigar of the line, but still decent and very arousing to the palate. I was even able to nasally exhale constantly from this cigar thanks to it's uncanny smoothness despite it's spicy flavours. Bouquets of flowers and licorice definitely add an interesting dynamic to the earthy tangy spice filling my palate.
Summary - I would consider this one of the average cigars to be found in a box, seeing as how it's slightly tight draw hinders the experience somewhat. Still an amazing smoke, and pleasant to nub down. The spiciness isn't dominant towards the finish, and the floral bouquet builds to a satisfying experience on this one. Not perfect, but still good.
