A slight sweet taste on the tip at light up. Slight pepper note on the retrohale. Box pressed shape which didn't expand and go back to a round shape at the foot. Which I've seen a lot of cigars do. Ash was quite flaky, getting all over my shirt and jeans.
Very good burn line. I could even set it down for a bit and come to it without having to relight. However the burn line did require a touch up in the final third. Even at only 4.5 inches long it's not a quick smoke. Retrohale became much sharper near the end.
Excellent smoke. Will definitely buy it again.
