This is a beautiful work-of-art, kind of cigar which smokes as good as it looks with rich Cuaba flavour lasting over 2 hours. This cigar begins mildly and is the draw is smooth yet fairly tight due to its construction. By half way it delivers great rich flavour without ever overpowering and remaining medium. It had a nice, oily wrapper with no defects. A woody-vanilla note developed and with that mingled the creamy caramel smoke, consistent with all the quality habanos I've tried.
