This cigar had a great draw the whole time. As far as the body goes, I would say it is medium +. I would also say this cigar is medium strength because I was able to get a little buzz right off the bat. This cigar had a very smooth retro-hale with no burn. It had excellent construction and it burned very evenly. The ash held on very tightly and the ash had a cool looking powder-like texture to it. The flavors definitely enhanced the more I smoked the cigar. The second third of the cigar had hints of dark roasted nut and slight hints of coffee. The final third of the cigar was nothing but full, robust flavors and I started to taste a very nice deep unsweet chocolate flavor at the end. I liked this cigar because the flavors slightly changed as I got deeper and deeper. In conclusion, this cigar had a beautiful appearance and the box press gave it a great feel in my hands. It was full flavored, burned perfectly and I only had to touch it up once. This premium cigar is also a good bang for the buck. Highly recommended.
