Ideal technical performance, tightly rolled and with optimal draw. The wrapper leaf is smooth, shiny and plea­sant to the touch. This cigar makes an imme­diate impact with its unlit aroma revealing hints of dry, leafy wood and grass, and shades of animal scents. The taste contains the sharp tang of black pepper as well as suggestions of earthiness and a slight bitterness. The first minutes of smoking reveal a fine spiciness and the fullness of an aroma, in which woody hints predominate. Cedar, hazelnut and aromatic herbs complete the range of woodland tastes that the cigar reveals. In the second third, the hint of mahogany compliments the cedar tones and the spicy tastes become more pronounced. In the last third, the strength of this cigar reaches its apotheosis. The bitterness increases but, at the same time, the aromatic range becomes complex.
