This cigar is a full octane pepper and spice bomb that coats the nostrils, mouth and throat, was even hit with a bit of nicotine on both samples. Smoked like a dream both times with a solid ash, stable burn and tons of thick smoke. The first half of the cigar presented fruity pepper & baking Spices on the retrohale. The second was a black pepper bomb. The flavor profile became taxing to my palate and nearing the final third felt monotonous without any depth. I could see the full body banger guys and gals scoring it high 80’s but for my palate it scores in the mid-70s range!
