The first third ignites with roasted flavors and a blend of both smooth and peppery spices. Perfect ventilation supports a confident body, evolving towards bold coffee and rich cocoa by the end of this stage.
In the second third, moka and pepper dominate but occasionally drift into bitter coffee territory. Despite a well-adjusted draw, the cigar tends to overheat if handled too eagerly.
