Appearance: A beautiful dark brown, a nice sheen and very few veins. Construction was firm but not hard, no lumps. It was a little soft at the foot but firm the rest of the way.

Pre-light Aroma: Nada. Zip. Zero. A touch of spice, more toward the pepper side but hardly any aroma at all.

Cap: A very neat coil that reminded me of a cinnamon roll. That was a nice touch.

Pre-light Draw: This was also very good. It didn't take too much effort, just enough.

Light-up: I toasted the foot and was rewarded with a mild, peppery sense in my nose more like a white pepper than a freshly ground black pepper.

Smoke: Not too much at the beginning with this one which surprised me a little. As I get into it it's starting to produce a bit more.

Burn: Unlike the 7th Capa Especial, this has less of a straight burn but isn't tunneling. The ash is a medium mottled grey and stays put well. This cigar is much heavier than it looks, hinting at a plentiful amount of leaf without having any draw problems. I've had to re-light several times once I got near the halfway point and it's starting to get a metallic taste to it. As dense as this roll is, I wondered if I would have to do that and I have. As well, the volume of smoke has increased quite a bit.

Flavor: This reminds me of more a woody, earthy flavor with just enough pepper and chewy on the back end. The Habano wrapper reminds me more of a maduro in taste and has a stronger finish that reminds me of a Nica Libre but not quite as heavy. Although this has more of a one-dimensional mild flavor at the start, about an inch into it the strength picks up quite a bit. It tastes like it could use some aging as it gives me the impression that it hasn't had time for the characteristics of the different leaves to meld.

Overall this is a cigar I would probably let rest for several months to see if it would bring out any additional flavors and also to see if it tames the overall dark flavor. I might be generous giving this a five out of ten but not because it's bad, it just doesn't have the complexity of some others.
