Profile

• Sweetness: Muted sweetness at first, evolving into honey, caramel, and chocolate notes.
• Earthiness: Present throughout, with subtle flower-like and rose petal flavors.
• Creamy Leather: Mid-way through the cigar, transitioning from earthy to a smooth creamy leather.
• Nutty: Salty, nut-like flavors emerge around the halfway mark.
• Spices: Very subtle, with a hint of baking spices on the retrohale.
• Floral: Light floral (rose petals) with an airy sensation.
• Rich Smoke: Copious, smooth smoke with consistent flavor delivery.
• Transition: Flavor transitions from sweet earthiness to creamier leather, chocolate, and nutty profiles as the cigar progresses.

• cold draw was muted sweetness mixed with earthiness
• Initial light and draw was smooth, that sweet earthiness was enriched
• a few puffs in and some additional touchup and I am getting notes of honey
• Retrohale has become easier to do now, and it creates a very light and airy profile at the back of my tongue
• another puff, and that profile in the back is earthy, flower-like, reminiscent of that rose, petal flavor I got in the past one drinking lemonade
• worth noting I took a drink of Coke zero a few puffs ago
• when I focus more on that flower like taste, I get a bit of sappy on the sides of my tongue, but it feels elevated
• the taste is transitioning into a creamy leather
• I think I am getting a sense of saltiness, borderline nut-like
• definitely getting some chocolate profile now, I am about 1/7 of the way through
• copious amount of smoke on each puff
• I am taking one puff every 45 seconds give or take a few seconds
• took another sip of my Coke zero
• for the first time in any of the cigars I've smoked. I am noticing a coffee profile
• I am not getting any sort of spice with this particular, rare black
• there's some sweetness here, somewhat sappy, I am having trouble discerning what it is… I think it is caramel?
• there's still that flower profile, I know for a fact, if I was drinking lemonade, I'd probably get that rose petal taste
• i've slowed down my puff rate to about 60 seconds and I am doing a lighter draw now
• started being too gentle on my puffs, and it went out had to light it back up
• I am now 1/3 of the way through this in about 30 minutes
• took another sip of Coke zero then a decent puff and got some salty nuts flavor
• went back to a puff rate of 45 seconds
• a big pull with a retrohale and exhale produced, slight baking spices in the back of my mouth
• That subtle earthy, flower like profile has stuck with me from the beginning
• I'm about halfway through the cigar at about one hour
• I had to touch up the cigar a little bit or was about to go out
• going into the final third, and I am experiencing more nuttiness and some chocolate flavor profile
• Earthiness is still there
• the last two inches required constant touch-ups
