Size - 7 x 38
Shape - Long Panatela
Wrapper - Nicaragua
Filler - Nicaragua
Binder - Nicaragua

Good looking stick. Chocolate and tobacco aroma on the wrapper. Good draw pre-light with a very chocolaty taste.

First third - Great draw. Mostly flavors of tobacco and cedar. Slightly dry tasting smoke although it was very smooth. Consistent in the flavor profile throughout this third.

Second third - Maintaining the tobacco and cedar flavors. The aftertaste is increasing in length with notes of mocha and toasted nuts. Quite a powerful cigar.

Last third - The intensity of the flavor is still increasing. The smoke stays smooth throughout. Very strong and lingering finish.

This was a good smoke. I wish it had a bit more complexity as the flavor profile stayed very consistent. The is the only vitola from the V series that I've tried...I need to pick up a sampler.
