Tasting Notes:

The darker wrapper of this cigar looks almost toothy and smells of cedar and age. It looks like a chocolate bar and with a quick cut using a guillotine cutter I get a nice pull of cocoa on the cold draw with cinnamon. After initial combustion, as they say, I get a light baking spice and sweetness on an already long finish.

The first third is marked with creamy milk chocolate with baking spice to finish and a leather note building on the back end of the experience. Dark chocolate is what I taste when I refrain from smoking for a minute or so. The burn is great and attempts to ash fail due to the great construction of this cigar and the firm ask as a result.

The second third continues to impress with a razer sharp burn line and creamy milk chocolate with cinnamon on the retrohale that is never offensive and just makes me close my eyes to enjoy the experience. At this point the complexity of flavor is unparalleled.

The final third is more of the same with the approach of dark chocolate and a date like sweetness that has me rolling my eyes in the back of my head. This is an unbelievably good cigar. It moves from medium plus to full at this stage and makes me glad I had nice meal ahead of time. 

I smoke it down to the butt and would lite another one but I know I couldn’t handle it so it will have to wait till next time. The box worthy discussion is mute as I don’t want to ever be without the option to some one of these so it is a must for any humidor and I will rate it a Unrivalled my mightiest rating.
