First Third: For the first few draws the smoke output is average, but full of Cohiba grass/honey/vanilla bean flavour. Halfway through the first third and the cigar becomes more creamy, extremely pleasant to smoke. At the end of the first third the ash falls and the cigar increases in strength. At this point I'm picking up some nut, but more toasted tobacco flavour.

Second Third: The Cohiba grass flavour comes to the fore. In the middle of the second third the Cohiba grass continues to be dominant, with perhaps a little cream/honey. The cigar is now medium in intensity. Towards the end of the second third the smoke output is excellent. This cigar has really hit its stride, settling in its Cohiba grass/honey/tobacco flavour - with a little vanilla bean.

Final Third: The intensity mellows, back to below medium, this genuinely surprises me as it's quite uncommon for this occur at the end of a cigar. The honey/cream flavours are very pleasant. There is no heat build-up until halfway through the final third, at the 40 minute mark. I nubbed this around the 45 minute mark.
