The initial flavors are earthy with a fair amount of underlying spice. As the smoke progressed the spice died down and some black coffee flavors emerged. At the midway point this smoke became almost Padron like. The only thing missing was that molasses flavor I find in Padrons. From the midpoint till the end the cigar had a very nice, but short clean finish with a nutty like flavor. Overall burn was very good and the cigar showed a little complexity as it went. I found the second half very enjoyable with the first half reminding me of many JR cigars. I also felt that the first half was a touch harsh then the second half, which seemed smoother to the palette. Overall this was an enjoyable smoke that would appeal to JR fans and I think Padron lovers. Other than the bunching being a bit loose there really wasn't anything to complain about. I would definitely smoke this cigar again. A good honest smoke with a touch of Nicaraguan kick. Med bodied and light med strength.
