Here's another solid non-Cuban cigar. This one is another recent discovery of mine from the European section of my humidor. It's certainly a well made cigar, if perhaps a little rough; a good cap, a clean wrapper, and a rather sweet nose of chocolate and cinnamon—the experience starts right away.

It lit up quickly and let loose an aroma of sweet cedar that was tantalizing. It has refinement, if that's the word; it's definitely not a powerhouse. Thick smoke fills the air with every puff. The ash builds on nicely and almost without you noticing. Before I knew it, I had more than half the length of the cigar on my lap. It's what happens when you enjoy a cigar so much you forget to put it down.

The smoke starts out with nuts and sweet wood. It has real body, though; it's not a light slacker. The smoke then moves on to more toasty and leathery notes, but nothing harsh all the way to the end. I didn't get any pepper or anything spicy, just smooth and creamy leather and more earthy notes in the last third. I honestly couldn't put this down.

Overall, it's a solid cigar with plenty of smoke and flavor... a fine smoke. I barely even let this stick stabilize, so a little age on them should prove very rewarding.
