This 4.5×50 stick offers a medium brown wrapper with a soft velvet feel. It has invisible seams, minimal veins and a faint peppery tobacco aroma. First light reveals a very easy draw, tons of rich thick smoke production with smooth flavors of a slightly sweet and peppery tobacco. The first third develops in to a very soft, rich creamy body of sweet aged tobacco with voluminous amounts of rich thick smoke. 20 min in at the 1/2 way point there are no changes, and the ash held on for the whole 1/2 of the burn. Ending at 40 min with exactly the same profile, the smoke got very hot so I ended it with 1″ remaining. Thank you very much to Brad Perkins for sending this fine sample in for review!
