Initial lighting taste - Pepper and a dry woodiness.
First third - Spice followed by a floral breadiness and wood.
Second third - Spice, creamy sweet breadiness, floral and wood notes. Nice balance.
Last third - Spice continues along with the sweet creamy bread, floral and wood notes. Long finish of bready spice.
Construction - Attractive light-brown bumpy wrapper with a few minor veins. Nice oily sheen and a good cap.
Burn - Straight burn with a flaky, dark-gray colored ash that holds on and inch or so at a time.
Draw - Very good draw that produces plenty of smoke.
Another excellent tasting cigar produced by the La Aurora Cigar Company that has an interesting, complex and unique flavor profile. I found the floral flavor to be an enjoyable and uncommon surprise. The complexity and balance was very good which I have come to expect from La Aurora cigars. MSRP for this size is $8.90 which is a good price point for this cigar. I found this cigar to be medium in body so anytime from midday on would be when I would look to fire one up. A definite recommend to try for yourself.
