Flavor profile
The cigar starts with cedar, earth, pepper, and roasted nuts, with a creamy quality developing underneath. As it progresses, you can pick up baking spices, leather, cocoa, espresso/cappuccino, and graham cracker, along with a subtle natural tobacco sweetness.
The second and final thirds tend to become more pronounced, bringing toasted cedar, black pepper, earth and baking spice, while the sweetness and nuttiness help keep the profile balanced.
Overall: A medium-strength, earthy and spicy cigar with cedar, pepper, nuts, baking spice and a touch of sweetness. The torpedo shape concentrates the smoke toward the pointed head, making it a good choice if you enjoy a more flavorful, spice-forward profile. Cigar Aficionado rated the cigar 88 points, describing woody and wheaty flavors with a sweet graham-cracker finish.
