The cold draw reveals sweet hay, cocoa husk, and a hint of cinnamon spice. Upon lighting, the draw is effortless, producing dense, aromatic smoke that coats the palate. The burn line remains razor-sharp throughout the extended smoking time, while the ash forms tight, light-gray stacks that hold exceptionally well, underscoring the cigar’s flawless construction.
