From a 12x Box - Mar 21 bought 2 years ago.
Half way through my little box, a long time no smoke vitola.
Cold draw a little silent, quite salty on the lips with a delicate smell.
First half disappointed, surfing the same monochromatic gassy/nutty wave; weirdly giving a very green impression for a 3year+ aged in my humidor.
Waking up at the second third with more depth & complexity, adding pepper, leather & spices, with touches of dry figues.
Last third on the same path, though with no bang in the final - almost a little boring to the end.
Construction issues forced for multiple flamme revival - maybe a off vitola.
Nowadays too expensive for what you get - no wonder why they struggle to sell at that price point.
7.5/10 for what I paid for at the time.
