The cigar loooked very good - no noticeable veins; good construction.
Pre-light, the cigar smelled very strong - heavy tobacco smell and a very spicy draw.
Upon lighting, the cigar had a very spicy taste, heavy white pepper. This almost vanishe about 1" into the cigar, and a strong French roast coffee, earth taste with just the slightest hint of vnilla occasionally. This continued until about 2" from teh end when the cigar got spicier and some black pepper notes added.
The smoke was very potent, and the volume was medium. The cigar had a high nicotine content, and packed quite a buzz. Most certainly a full-bodied smoke; not for the unexperienced or weak, certainly.
I don't know that I would smoke this on a regular basis, but it was ok.
