I was impressed. Although I had expected a lot from the cigar, I got more than I thought. A lovely cigar with lovely complexity.

Construction

The feeling I got from the band was incredible. It felt a bit royal, like you were at the coronation of a new king or queen. In a way, the band showed that less is more, not too many pictures or art, but combining the gold and blue color in a simple pattern gave a special royal elegance.

The cigar was incredibly firm and evenly rolled. The wrapper had an incredibly oily feel to it.

Wrapper: Ecuador – Binder: Mexico – Filler: Dominican

Smell and cold draw

The scent I smelled in the wrapper was hay while the filler smelled of woodiness, dark chocolate and hay. The cold draft gave me a lovely mix of sweet fruitiness, nuttiness and hay.

Conclusion

The cigar had a lovely complexity and could be divided into 4 parts. The body was medium and suits most aficionados. If I compare price vs taste vs quality, I think you get a lot of cigar for the money. There are many that are twice as expensive and do not offer the same experience. A premium cigar that gave more than I paid for.
