Appearance: Dark and brooding. Looks like an old Twiglet. Band faded and almost welded into the wrapper.
Construction: Firm pack > tight/unplugged draw > even burning > no corrections.
Flavour: No re-light aroma. 1/3. Leather/salt > bitter fruit > plum > gets sweeter > (draw loosening) > dried fruit like currant > predominantly (sweet) leather. 2/3. Still sweet leather > mushroom > 3/3. Still sweet leather > dark, bitter chocolate > chocolate sweetening > clean tobacco (sweet, no harshness). End.
Overall: I enjoyed it. Flavour strength medium. Smoke light and mellow. Are the flavours correct for the vitola? No way of knowing, the cigar was 11 years old and I?ve not smoked one before. No noticeable nicotine strength. Smoke time: 25mins.
