A reddish cigar with a thin smooth wrapper. It displays a high intensity of its pre-light aroma and taste alike. Its sweetish bitter taste reminds one of gingerbread. Its aroma, on the other hand, is dominated by woody, green, barnyard overtones.

When freshly lit, the cigar does not appear to be strong. Gradually its strength increases but does not rise above average. When smoked, the cigar has a rich velvety taste, which presents a nice bouquet of woodiness, spiciness, fruitiness, and featheriness. Its aroma is also very rich, with dominant woody and earthy tones. Two-thirds into the cigar, these become supplemented with barnyard tones. The cigar has a light draw and medium-long aftertaste.

On the whole, the cigar may appeal to experienced smokers, with its somewhat harsh, but impressive and rich aroma. It can provide a perfect finish to an evening when accompanied with a cup of Turkish coffee and cognac XO.
