Firm pack, tight seams, and rich earthy barnyard aroma. Draw had a touch of resistance. First third had sharp pepper and spice with the retro showing some chocolate and ceder, but mostly stinging pepper (1/10). Body sits at a medium matching the strength. Halfway through the body became more dense dropping some of the pepper and adding barnyard. Caramel and chocolate were dancing in and out. With 2 inches left the cigar went out by itself, and didn't want to smoke properly after that (2/10).
The flavours weren't bad, but not my style, hence the poor rating. Construction was great, and any wonky burn fixed itself.
Edit: I'm adding here that this cigar made EVERYTHING I had on reek of ash and burnt tobacco, very unpleasant and unlike the other cigars. Perhaps something went wrong in the production or storage of this particular stick.
: overall this was an average cigar. I thought the coffee, caramel, and nut flavors were good. At times the spice was a bit strong but this is not a bad cigar.
