NOTES:
Rolled nicely with tight seams and even draw giving satiating/saturating helpings a' smoky-smoke. Some slight softening a' pack, sans hard/soft spots, per se. Veins are minimal, tooth scant. Burns on a half-tick wobble of a fully sheen'd top-leaf, mandating no re-direct. Ash makes an inch growth in a loose stack a' heather-grey dimes. Pace begins moderately-set, then slows via progression, but ne'er becoming tedious.
Texture is quite oily-rich. Verily well-rounded. Smooth, somewhat moistly-so, with a non-confrontational piquancy. Immediate draws are fusty a la the typical Macanudo profile -- yet more dark in nature. Cleans into bitter-sweet well-legg'd finish. Aroma sees the fusty bits linger longer. Superbly balanced notes delivered in a rather non-transitional manner, but pleasantly-so. Deep notes of excellently nuanced nethers.
FINAL GRADE: A-
