Had one of these last night after dinner as Boisdale Canary Wharf, paired it with a light Speyside. It was bought as a single so I've assumed that there is no age on it.
First Third:
Light on the nose before lighting, smells mainly of cedar wood, not a very spicy nose. On lighting the ash is a very light grey and the initial burn is excellently even. Once lit the draw is excellent, and the flavour is quite light but very pleasant. There are occasional floral notes, sometimes creamy notes too.
Second Third:
Burn and draw remain excellent. Flavour remains largely the same but there are now occasional notes of grass and toasted oats, the latter being only infrequent and subtle notes. Incredible billows of smoke in this third, very satisfying.
Last Third:
Burn is now slightly less even but is easily correctable. Draw and flavour remain very good, albeit the notes of various flavours decrease in frequency. The burn does not become too harsh until the nub.
Overall, a highly pleasant and very light cigar which pairs well with speyside whiskey. Probably my palate which is the problem, but many of the flavour notes were so light and fleeting that it was very difficult to identify what they were.
