Cigar had a beautiful flawless matte wrapper. The 1st third started slightly harsh, but eventually became very silky smooth and creamy with rich dark notes. The woody must notes reminded me of being in an old dusty woodworking shop. This would be the perfect cigar to have after a brisket dinner or with some sea salt chocolate.
