Conclusion: 

Upon light I’m hit with a blast of white pepper and baking spices which quickly transitions to a strong vegetal note with white pepper to accompany it. Not exactly what I enjoy in a cigar. As the first third burned some creamy cedar mixed in which was a little more pleasant to the palate. About halfway in the main flavor notes transitioned to a chocolate with some dark fruit notes to compliment the chocolate forward flavor. Cedar and hay were also in the background with that vegetal note lingering, but not nearly as strong as the first half. The final third continued with chocolate as the main note and some more rich cocoa and dark fruit on the retro. Cedar and the vegetal note were present throughout the final third as well. Overall, a mixed review, as the first half I was not at all pleased with, but the second half really picked it up, enough for me to give this another try.
