Size - 132 x 44
Smoke Time - 1 hour 15 mins (Taking My Time)
Box Of 25 - July 2011
Appearance: Nice medium brown coloured wrapper, not too dark with black spots throughout the surface of the cigar and some light veins. A nice sturdy looking cigar with a good overall finish.

Construction: Firm to touch, not spongy nor to hard. Slight uneven burn to the start of the stick, however it self corrected after a few small puffs. Perfect burn thereafter with a nice smooth draw, not loose or too tight, no relights required, just great construction throughout the whole cigar.
Flavour: Pre-draw it was telling me i was in for a real treat, i could taste lots of spicy cinnamon with some really sweet aromatic woody flavours.
The first third was a delicious sweet earthy woody flavour, with some nice subtle flavours of spice and honey coming through. Into the second third, lots more spice present and the smoke is really putting out some full on flavours of cinnamon, lots of sweet woody and honey hits, with the odd overtone of pepper. The final third still very sweet and creamy as it has been right the way through the stick, with some nice change in flavour, some nutmeg and lots of toasted coffee beans coming through towards the end, no bitterness at all. An excellent finish to what was a superb petit cigar.

Overall: I cannot fault this cigar, lots of different flavours and never once was it one dimensional. It had a perfect draw with lots of nice creamy white smoke and held a semi solid greyish ash. To me, i would put this at the lower end of a medium to full bodied cigar, at no point was it too overpowering at all. I smoked this cigar right down to the nub and is a must have in any humidor.
This was my first cigar review, and i hope you enjoyed it....Thank you SmokinE.
