Wrapper: Oily/smooth
Band: Satisfactory
Pretty smooth wrapper on this maduro.
Apparently, the Recordando a Santiago is a reblend of the classic 1878 line.
Wood
The first flavors are rather strong, not a cigar that beats around the bush.
Pepper
The pepper is very interesting - not hot, just the flavor.

So far this has been a great cigar. Strong flavors, lots of variation and impeccable construction. Even the ash is smooth as silk, revealing beautiful tooth that is hardly discernible on the wrapper.

The final third is very sweet and smooth, an unexpected finale for such a strong stick.
