Construction: Almost black wrapper and oily sheen. Dry and very light packed cigar, Light seams minimal veins.

1/3: Loose draw cigar and almost no resistance. Good smoke output and flavor would medium to full body. smoke has a very oily thick earth flavor to it. Slightly sweet side flavor. The construction is showing issues, the burn is uneven and cigar getting very warm at the head and just started. Flavor is Dark chocolate and the earth and pepper is fading in on the back of the pallet.

2/3: The construction is a real problem the uneven burn and the heat (temperature) for the half way is too hot. The maduro becoming soft and no bounce back, seems that the blending of the cigar used sub par tobacco. no flavor changes very 1 dimensional.

3/3: Burn uneven, but understand with the maduro the leaves are thicker and the this sometimes effects the burn. Flavor has shifted deep earth and woodsy, a hint of chocolate. This cigar is OK, not crazy on the construction and temp.
