After the mild HdM EE I went for something a little darker for the evening smoke. It took a few cuts to get the draw I wanted and looking at the pictures it got pretty close to the top of the band. Construction was good and no more or less quality than I'd expect. Initial puffs brought out a raisin/dried fruit note that was present for the first third or so. At that point a dark cocoa and earthiness took over and was present for the rest of the cigar. I picked up very little if any pepper which was unexpected but appreciated. Pretty good smoke and a nice juxtaposition to my morning cigar.
