This little cigar impressed me. For the size I got a impressive complexity that sometimes is even hard to find in a bigger cigar. The tastes where definite flavours that emerged that where hard to miss. I smoked it two times, once in the evening, once in the morning, and may i say it was a pleasure to smoke it.
Conctrustion
When i first took a look at it i hardly found any defects, no vains that enoyed and would tell about a possible uneven burn. The only thing that i got worried about when o looked at the cigar was the filler, it looked to be more thightly packed packed on one side of the cigar then on the other, witch would have allowed the lightly packed side side to get more air between the tobacco layers and burn faster. But to my great amazement, it burned incredibly evenly, which brought me incredible joy.

Taste
After I had cut the cigar, I drew a few puffs without lighting it. I was curious as to what to expect. The taste that emerged was sweet in the vanilla direction. The draw was neither easy nor hard, in between I would say.
1/3
After I lit the cigar, the flavors began to emerge. The first third was dominated by a light fruity note with the visit of lovely citrus flavor and light taste of of dark chocolate and spiciness. The spiciness balanced it all out and disappeared surprisingly quickly.
2/3
When I got into the second third, the flavors changed places and the dark chocolate became more dominant. Much to my surprise and something I’ve rarely felt in the taste of a cigar before was the chocolate flavor had a hint of menthol in the background, which made me think of lovely mint chocolate, though with less mint flavor. The spiciness remained as in the first third and was welcome. The fruityness was now a in the background.
Once I got into the final third, something came along that surprised me and that I hadn’t expected from the cigar after all the flavors that had been. Chocolate and fruity flavors disappeared almost completely. What emerged was a mixture of dark sour bread and and light sweet bread which was fun to feel the taste of. However, the spiciness remained and was still welcome.
