The wrapper is a medium brown, very coarse with prominent veins, and only a small amount of oiliness I can see. It has a slight give when squeezed with no apparent hard spots, and with the cap punched I find a draw with only a small amount of resistance.
I have the foot toasted and with a few puffs is burning nice and even in no time at all. The smoke is a good medium body with a very nice white pepper spice hitting the back of the tongue and throat. Flavors are deliciously rich with tastes of fresh baked bread, dark, sweetened cocoa, and dark, rich earth.
The burn is sharp with a strong, dark gray ash forming and the draw is working perfectly with the medium to almost full-bodied smoke that is flowing effortlessly. Flavors continue to be rich and incredibly delicious with notes of fresh baked bread, cocoa and dark earth with a really good toasted nuttiness. The finish is fantastically smooth and very lasting on the palate making me smack my lips over and over.
This cigar performed flawlessly throughout with a sharp burn, perfect spice, deliciously rich flavors, and incredibly lasting finish on the palate. I know when these first came out, they weren’t all that great, however after a couple years age they are fantastic smokes. Thanks again Jimmy!
