Off to a rocky start, drawing very little smoke. Let's hope it picks up when the tip widens.

Oh yeah, there it is!

At the start the flavors were mostly herbal with some wood, now it's the other way around.

Cigar starting to taper, more grassy flavors now. A rather mellow smoke so far.

About halfway through the cigar took a clearly distinguishable turn toward more earthy flavors.

The second half has a distinctly fruity character that I find quite unique.

Overall a great cigar. The first half was calm, too calm for my taste. The second was great and unique. In a blind tasting, I would have put it down as Dominican.
