A tight cigar of a colorado claro colour with a smooth oily wrapper and a nice round cap. Its pre-light impressions display no powerful gustatory or aromatic data. Its aroma invokes dry birch bark, valerian, road dust. The taste may be called woody mineral.

When lit, its aroma kicks in rich and strong. It features spicy, green, minty and meaty components. It tastes mostly bitter and sharp; its hallmark is an overtone of rosewood and spices. The cigar burns slowly and evenly, leaving a medium-strong aftertaste and a cone-shaped foot. Its flavour tends to be medium.

Such a cigar would seem suitable for summer evenings – by the sea. It goes down well without any accompaniment. If you must, you can match it with a glass of Scotch on the rocks.
