Wrapper and construction: lovely even milk chocolate with only light veining. Well constructed with a large cap and no tight areas.
Prelight: nice draw, not too light or tight. Light cedar balanced with an earthy backbone.
Lit: slightly acrid through the first 1/4 inch this swiftly disappeared leaving a lovely smooth smoke with classic partagas flavours, earthy, caramel, leather and sweet wood with a hint of white pepper. Warmer in the second half it was nonetheless equally pleasant. Paired exceptionally well with the slightly smokey, black cherry of a fine Toscana.
