The cigar is uniformlyrolled with a little give when squeezed, and it has a balanced mottling throughout. The wrapper is visually appealing with some sporadic toothiness. Overall, it’s a very pretty and well-constructed cigar.

The draw and smoke output are excellent, with woods, cream, black pepper, and baker’s spices over a faint sweetness, followed by milk chocolate notes over earth. The medium-bodied cigar has a luscious smoke texture, though some bitterness appears after a caramel sweetness fades. The retrohale is powerful and stinging, offering notes of plum, sweet bread, cinnamon, roasted nuts and black and white pepper. The cigar develops a nice white ash, and a wavy burn line that requires a touch-up. On one sample I get a faint custard note on the retrohale.
The cigar features flavors of woods, caramelized brûlée, cream, earth, leather, and black and white pepper, with hints of flan. It achieves a nice balance at the midway point, where the spices recedes and the creamy quality takes over. A crispy bacon flavor emerges on one sample. The retrohale delivers lots of cinnamon and milk chocolate, along with a delicious gingerbread note. Black pepper lingers on the palate and the back of the throat.
On the palate I get oak, leather, nougat, cream, earth, and black and white pepper, with a chewy smoke texture. It has a very enjoyable finish that coats the mouth and includes a hint of meatiness. On one sample I get notes of apple cinnamon and milk chocolate. The retrohale reveals notes of woods, cream, milk chocolate, and earth, enhancing the overall experience.
