The manufacturer claims that ” the cigar itself is Karen Berger’s first Nicaraguan Puro, and features a velvety Nicaraguan Habano Criollo wrapper. The resulting experience is a medium strength creamy cigar with thick chewy smoke and notes of vanilla, cedar, earth, and sweetness” The flavors I got from the first third were a slight vanilla note with more predominant earthy and cedar wood notes that were very pleasing. Smoke output was thick, creamy with a nice mouthfeel. The final third carried on the earthy woody notes but I lost the vanilla note. The and stayed at medium strength with some pepper notes but they were not overpowering. I needed to relight 2x during but that was due to my slow pace and not being a construction issue. Total smoke time was 1 1/2 hours at a relaxed pace. Overall, I rate this a solid 91 on the Tim Scale making this a very enjoyable experience that definitely calls for additional purchases. I definitely recommend checking out this new cigar
