This cigar has a dipped cap that is very noticeably sweet. Really cool looking band. The “Cut and a light” kicked off with a mouth full of the sweetness from the cap and some dry unharsh hay with a light spice. Seems medium body at this point, with a light nicotine level. Into the second third, the flavor profile brings in some coco, as the cap sweetness fades out somewhat. It holds the ash pretty good, and the draw is fair. The retro hale is woodsy with some cinnamon spice. In the final third, the coco has picked up into a smooth chocolate flavor. The nicotine strength has definitely increased with the body still in the medium range. My smoke time was one hour and fifteen minutes with my score of an 83. The nicotine really kicks at the end, I had to sweeten my coffee I pared it with to counter it.
