Deep cocoa with finely ground black pepper & spiced cedar attachments. Pleasantly pungent & overall muchly, kindly. A distinct toasted pumpernickel retro-hale. Undertones are interesting insofar as their delivery is via that spiced cedar -- remaining braced | delineated quite well. Smoked paprika, cumin, red pepper flake, cinnamon. Also an espresso-laced earthiness on a thick toasted cream bracing.
Underbelly is a savory leather, which is on the aroma as well, added to that room-note is a tick of spiced black tea. That last mention finds its way to the long-legged bittersweet savory finish; lip-smacking & warmly tingly-so. A short & impactful smoke, tho refined, as well. 3/3 ushers some sweet red wine into its middlings.
Excellent draw. No re-direct is needed on burn, but the line does half-hiccup on a pair of occasions. B I G smoke out-put, actively & passively. Ash builds well, is rolled off in thirds. Zero hard/soft spots & assemblage of cap/seams are primo. This is just a beautifully balanced and densely profiled cigar -- exquisite.
