\nColor Claro with a fine wrapper, after all the years there was still sufficient but not abundant oil on the wrapper. The yellow cellophane is testament to the original richness of the cigar.<\/p>\n
\nSweet aroma of Vanilla and Caramel\/Honey is predominant in the smell
\nAfter lighting and cutting @ 12:35<\/p>\n
\nLighted the cigar with the cap on, as to minimise combustion. No harshness but it pays to purge, perfect construction, razor sharp burn and excellent draw. The ash has a tendency to fall off the cigar.<\/p>\n
\nA special cigar and it shows in the complex combination of medium\/full strength and a full concentrated taste that is always present as soon as you light up.<\/p>\n
