After torching the foot and a good burn going, I take a few puffs to get the smoke flowing and then a long draw. I get a mild to almost medium white pepper spice on the back of the throat with the smoke medium in strength and the body meaty if you will. Flavors are very good, somewhat rich, with a sweet cocoa, toasted nut, and raisin taste. There seems to be a tannic taste as well, the smoke somewhat dry on the palate.
The burn wants to lean to one side as I head into the first third, however it corrects itself well enough requiring no touch-up. A medium to dark gray ash is forming and holds strong until tapped off in the ashtray. Medium strength smoke is flowing effortlessly in the perfect draw with a rather mild body, flavors continuing to be somewhat rich, the finish a bit short on the palate, but good nonetheless. I seem to detect a hint of vanilla coming through, pretty darn good.
Halfway in and into the final third, the cigar performs well with the burn a bit erratic, however straight enough with the draw continuing to be spot on. Flavors seem to turn to more of a straightforward tobacco towards the end with a slight bitterness in the finish. Overall I have to say this was a very good smoke and a decent enough fit for my palate.



Y'all know what kind of snake this is?
