On close inspection, this stick has a reddish-brown wrapper with one medium sized vein, and was leathery to the touch. With a quick flick of a match, this stogie was lit to please. It started with notes of cedar and light spice (Probably from the Peruvian tobacco). Unfortunately, the character did not change much throughout the cigar. This sample did get a little bitter towards the last inch-and-a-half, but it was not overwhelming. It is medium-full in body, with a short finish. The ash was grayish-white, and held on for an inch-and-a-half before I gave it the brush-off. Others around me commented on a pleasing aroma, but I didn’t put a whole lot of notice to it.

I think that this is a good daily, or golf cigar. Perhaps after breakfast or lunch, but I prefer something heavier after dinner. We’ll see how this one ages.
