Overall score:    3.5/5.0

Construction:     Nice presentation in white tissue with the band on the outside of the tissue.  Small tooth on wrapper.  Medium veins.  Cap is a little ragged.   

Prelight:   Nice mild aroma.  Cap and wrapper unraveled when cut.  Spit repair and no factor throughout smoke.  Mild, sweet, with and easy draw and peppery on the lips. 

First third:      Voluminous smoke.  Quite leathery and earthy.  Not a sweet finish.  Ashed at about 2"

Second third:     Smoke still voluminous, leathery and earthy.  A bit of nuttiness developed.

Third third:      Nuttiness more pronounced and a bit of sweet in the finish.  Smoke volume still good.  Draw perfect - not too loose and not to tight. 

Overall:    A nice consistent cigar.  Flavors did not change much but became more intense.  I prefer a sweeter smoke, but for those who like the more earthy flavors this is a good smoke.
