A 5.5x40 Corona with a fine, smooth, but veiny, mottled dark brown, Colorado maduro, Ecuadorian wrapper, smooth, very small cap, and a firm bunch.

Constructed of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Peruvian filler, and Dominican binder, and made in the Dominican Republic.

Even burn, flat coal, mottled grey typical ash, and a perfect draw.

It did peel badly at the head immediately after being cut, even using the method of laying the cutter on a flat surface and inserting the head and cutting, but some glue fixed it fine and no further issues of any kind.

Excellent smoke volume and a strong, fragrant aroma

Of ample richness, smooth, mellow, mild-medium strength, generous body and perfectly balanced flavor of woodiness and floral tastes, and a generous finish of the same.

No sweetness, bitterness, burn on the tongue, sharpness or saltiness

Outstanding character and an overall outstanding cigar, with a final score of 96 out of 100.

The highest score I have given to date and it was well earned.
