The cigar was not particularly complex but offered a lovely balance between the flavors.
Construction
The top was a little uneven but nothing that could affect the cut. The wrapper had a matte feel to it. The band around the cigar gave me the same feeling as with the Agenorsa leaf Signature maduro robusto cigar, as if there was a hidden treasure behind only the lucky few get to experience.
Wrapper. Nicaragua – Binder: Nicaragua – Filler: Nicaragua
Smell and cold draw
The wrapper had a lovely scent of dark chocolate, while the filler smelled of espresso and citrus. The cold draft was incredibly nice and gave flavors of hay, dark chocolate and light citrus.
1/2 Lets light the Agenorsa leaf Signature Corojo Robusto cigar
There weren’t many flavors, but they were prominent and well balanced. The texture was slightly creamy while the flavors I felt were general spiciness, earthiness, cedar, herbs, a mix of cacao and dark chocolate. In the background there were shades of leather and orange peel. The retrohalation really tickled the nose and gave nuances of black pepper.
2/2 A minor complexity emerged
The texture of the cigar was as before, slightly creamy. The flavors followed the same track as before but with slightly less nuanced changes. The flavors I felt were dark chocolate, nuttiness, a mix of cedar and general woodiness, earthiness, spiciness and ground dark roasted coffee beans mixed with coffee latte. In the background there were nuances of herbs, leather and orange peel. The shade of orange peel came out a little more than before. The retrohale became a bit smoother but still tickled a bit and gave hints of black pepper.

Conclusion
The flavors were well balanced without much complexity. I think the fact that the complexity was not too great makes it suitable for most occasions. The body is medium which suits most cigar smokers. If I compare price vs taste vs quality, I think it is where it should be.
