This 7.5×50 stick features a dark brown wrapper with small veins, minor imperfections and stretches, tight seams, a spongy give and soapy aroma. First light reveals a nice easy draw with plenty of medium-full body smoke giving peppery tobacco flavors with a big pepper and spice finish. The first third brings a medium body with creamy oily tobacco flavor, and a bit of spice through the finish but not nearly as much as the first light. it does leave a nice tingle on the lips though. The ash is fairly loose, dropping at just less than an inch. The half way point comes and goes at the 1 hour mark with no changes. Ending at 1:30 where it began to get too warm for my taste, the whole stick proved to be very consistent in flavors and performance. Video on the site
