Size: 5x57
Wrapper: ecuadorian sumatra
Binder: connecticut
Filler: blend of dominican and double nicaraguan ligero
Construction: beautifully constructed, wrapper is flawless and smooth with just a slight tooth
Prelight: just a light tobacco flavor and a little spice left on the lips
First Third: because of the extremely large foot on this cigar I was sure to toast the foot well before taking a first draw. the reward, first draw is full of pepper and leather, no waiting for the flavor to get going at all
Draw: easy
Burn: good
Ash/Smoke: ash is very white, firm and smoke is plentiful
Second Third: leather and spice with a nutty background, flavor is strong but not harsh at all. very pleasing and enjoyable
Final third: wonderful, leather and nutty with just a little spice on the back end. finish is very pleasant and lingers on
Strength: medium
Flavor: medium
Overall: this is one of the better new cigars I have tried in a while. I will be looking to pick some more up and hope they are all as good as this one.
