Describe Any Changes in Body or Flavor: This smoke started with a burst of flavor – brawny leather, steel and black pepper notes – there is a wonderful warm back taste that reminded me of cinnamon – it built solidly towards the end – it definitely a full bodies smoke.

Aroma (Rich and Smooth and Acrid)? Very nice aroma – got compliments from non-smokers nearby.

Finish? Smoked it to the nub – great finish

Comments: This is a great smoke if you like a full-bodied cigar with complex flavors. It is a very good short smoke with a lot of punch. The construction is well up to Litto Gomez’s standards – the wrapper alone is a joy to behold. Highly recommended.
