Starting off with a slight mustiness with a bit of pepper the flavor was off-putting but eventually subsided leading to a sweet, leathery flavor. In the second and third of the cigar an almond nuttiness and cherry sweetness popped out. The leather base note stayed throughout but the almond/cherry blended for a very nice, well-rounded overall flavor. If I could I'd buy a whole box. Unfortunately this limited release probably won't hit the shelves. Pretty even burn, slight unevenness, with one inch ash. Smoked this one to the nub
