This cedar-sleeved beauty has a smooth and silky wrapper. Aromas from the foot are cocoa and coffee. The cold draw is perfect. This morning’s beverage is a Steep18 Cold Brew Coffee.

The initial flavors are cocoa and coffee. The retrohale is smooth with just the right amount of black pepper. The burn is very even.

In the first third some cedar notes join the flavor profile. This is a smooth medium to full bodied cigar. The pepper in the retrohale has backed off a bit. The burn remains very even.

During the second third complexity of flavors remains excellent. The retrohale is smooth with just the right amount of pepper. The burn remains very even.

This cigar is very consistent. The construction is excellent and the complexity of flavors remains perfect. The cigar does progress to a full bodied smoke.
