I’ve bought couple of boxes visiting Gibraltar few years ago. they had many interesting cigars back then, so I brought plenty of different.

starting pretty light, but with density. Creamy cocoa, a bit of light spices. Couldn’t say the draw is too tight, but it needs some work on it in the beginning. after 10 mins I was started to feel light sour sweetness and cocoa cookies. Like oreo with less sugar. I usually don’t like sour taste, but that was very pleasant. More like orange zest juice  squirted when you press on it. the cigar has very gentle undertones. I’d say you better be experienced smoker to realize how good it is. the ash colour is between steel and white, pretty warm. the construction and burn are very good, the draw got as fine as it should be.

 second 3rd. no more or much less of sourness with growing sweetness. not too much, but a bit more sweeter. I’d say biscuit instead of cocoa cookies. still creamy cocoa. spices almost disappeared. the ash has fallen down at the half of cigar.

last third - it’s getting stronger. that sour sweetness and spices (more like cinnamon) got back.  the taste density is growing. very nice espresso taste. creaminess is gone.

This was one of my favourite cigars.  I'm sad it was discontinued.  I've only got a half dozen left or so.

Boy do I miss those.  Was my go to cigar for years.  Very well priced.  This cigar needs to come back in the dress box at a minimum!
