This was a disappointing cigar.

I got very little as far as flavor profile goes, but there was  some pepper on the finish that wasn&#8217;t particulary enjoyable. The body is very light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The draw is wide open, a little too open for my liking. It&#8217;s smoking great though. Nice construction on this one. The pepper I was getting in the early stages disippates and I&#8217;m left with a muted, boring smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As things progress, the body does pick up a little and some faint leather notes enter the mix. Later in the smoke I pick up some muted grassy notes. I decide to put this one down with about 2&#8243; left as it just wasn&#8217;t getting any better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Construction Notes:&nbsp;<\/strong>This one smoked nicely but the draw was a little too open for me.
