I haven't had a cigar in 3 weeks so they may have something to do with my ranking.
First off it is a beautiful cigar. From the cedar wrapping to the coloring to the smell it is just really appealing.
The first 3rd I was a bit disappointed. I didn't read the tasting notes until afterward. People talk of cinnamon and honey and breadiness. I didn't get that. What I did get was white pepper. That was it. I was like I am not going to like this cigar. Once it got to the 2nd 3rd however it changed. Nuttiness, creaminess and cedar came to the forefront. Really a nice mellow flavor. They played off each other nicely. The pepper came back in the final 3rd. The retrohales were really nice. Picked up the flavors even more so. I never did taste the citrus so much as other reviews said but it has a great clean taste (if there is such a thing with cigars).
The cigar never went out. Had a great ash and tons of smoke which I like. The draw was very good until the end when it got a little too easy for my liking.
My one complaint would be the uneven burn. I needed to touch up 3x. That could be because I am sitting undercover in a rain storm and the humidity caused it. Overall however it was enjoyable and I would smoke again.
