Wrapper: Satisfactory
Band: Very attractive
A cigar by a Belgian brand named after a Dutch admiral and manufactured in the Domnican Republic. I swear sometimes it's easier to track Russian oligarchs' off-shore accounts than to determine the provenance of a cigar.
Online and real-life censorship of information about tobacco products doesn't help either.
But regardless of the nanny state's efforts, this fine looking cigar has inhabited my humidor for a while now. Time to incinerate it.
Slowly, of course.

The draw is excellent and there is lots of smoke.
The first flavors are mostly woody but varied.

Like the second third, the final third announces itself with distinctly different flavors. Pretty neat when that happens.

I really enjoyed this cigar but my fingers are getting burned so it's time to put it away.
