More of the above, but taking
over is a coffee/espresso note
with a subtle sweetness.

Stronger body, more coffee/espresso
and roasted nut, leathery cedar with a lip
tingling spice, little head buzz and throat zing.












 


Final notes;
Overall a strong, full bodied cigar. Not overpowering and very satisfying. When I was buying this cigar, the sales person said "it's our strongest cigar, are you sure you want one?". Um...yes! This was a very good smoke and well worth the money. Full of interesting flavours and changes. For a small ring gauge, there's lots to enjoy. Two thumbs up on this one for it's power and flavours.

My rating: 8 out of 10
