A bit of a meaty start, a bit bland, but turns into a strong espresso, cocoa, chocolate smoke with the most amazing smell from the wrapper. How can this small cigar have so much power, really a full bodied maduro.
Cocoa on the draw, espresso on the tongue/aftertaste and a chocolate scent. It’s not a complex demi-corona but full on earthy flavors. I rate it 94 from a box dated 02/2008. A must for any humidor. A true apéritif!
Licorice, vanilla, pepper, coffee and heavy toasted leather. This cigar is a complex full bodied spicy smoke. This cigar is truly a powerhouse of taste and it demeands your full attention or it will burn your tongue. Very oily, allmost to much. At the end it stays primary on the sour coffee side moving in to strong espresso with hints of sweet vanilla and bitter pepper in moderations. A lovely spicy smoke which is not for the faint hearted. I was impressed with the white ash and the crisp even burn, delivering a thick gorges smoke. Rate 91.
