First Third:


This one starts off smooth but with attitude. Right away you get a creamy draw layered with cedar and a light toasted bread note. There’s a subtle sweetness—almost like honey or light caramel—balanced by a faint pepper on the retrohale. Burn is clean, smoke is thick… solid start.


Second Third:


Now it shifts into a more rugged profile. The sweetness backs off and you get more earth, roasted nuts, and a touch of leather. There’s a nice medium-bodied presence here, with a little spice building but never overpowering. It’s got that “garage-built muscle” feel—gritty but refined.


Final Third:


This is where it punches a bit harder. Pepper turns up, earth deepens, and there’s a charred oak note that comes through strong. You’ll catch a warm spice—almost like cinnamon or clove—on the finish. Strength creeps toward medium-full, but it stays controlled and enjoyable right down to the nub.


Final Verdict:


A bold, well-balanced stick with personality. It evolves nicely, keeps your attention, and delivers that classic Habano punch without getting harsh. Great construction, great burn, and a flavor profile that hits that sweet spot between smooth and strong.


Score: 8.2/10
