Lots of dark, rich, well-rounded notes. Coffee, leather, hints of raisin and chocolate. Flavors shifted a bit between the thirds, but nothing that made me say, “wow”. Typically, blends by AJ Fernandez are right up my alley, but not so much in this one. It was decent, burned well, okay aroma, but it was largely a forgettable maduro.
Great looking cigar, burned nice and even all the way down. Draw was very good but could have been a little better.
First 1/4 little hint of spice, decent draw.
2/4- hints of chocolate, mellows out a bit, better draw
Out of the darker side of things, this is one of the best smokes I have enjoyed in some time. Solid bold flavor thanks to a triple-fermented Brazilian wrapper does wonders for the taste buds.
