Closing notes

HIGHLY complex cigar! Start to finish - many nuances to pick from. Beautiful dark chocolate dipped cherry note for a good chunk of the cigar and beautiful floral notes dancing in and out. Cherry note transitions smoothly into a dark fruit note closer to the end. Beautiful cigar, certainly one of the best I’ve smoked and proud to own more.
