This is a beautiful, rosy pink cigar with a nice oily wrapper. It comes in a cedar tube on which are stamped the name and size. Unlit, the taste is distinctly of sweet cedar. On my first puff, I actually said to myself, “Wow! That’s delicious!” Cedar taste is notable up front, with some spice and creaminess underneath. The woody flavor sticks around for most of the smoke, but the others give way to a distinct smokiness. Hints of leather get stronger toward the end, accompanied by a unique grassy note. This cigar was never harsh, despite being a decidedly medium-bodied smoke. Overall, a great, interesting cigar – even the aftertaste is distinctive: cedar and hints of grass. Highly recommended.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
