Wow. I really liked this cigar. I paired it with aged dark rum.(again) I had lots of creamy white smoke upon lighting this one. At first, the taste was a little dry and papery. After a few puffs, the major flavors I picked up were leather and oak. When cycled through the nose I got hints of coffee bean and cocoa. The last third has a slight peppery finish. I must say that for the price, this was and excellent cigar. The burn was as even as any high end stick I have had. I would definitely recommend this one. Just don't over puff, as the flavors can get jumbled and tannic.
