Conclusion: 

Adrian Magnus has been mostly a hit for me so far, and this one is their creme de la creme, at least price point wise. 15 year aged tobaccos, so you know this was one smooth cigar. In terms of the tasting notes, I enjoyed this one. Now, $35 a stick enjoyed… ehhh. But nonetheless this is a cigar I would certainly smoke again. Lots of roasted coffee, cedar, chocolate, leather, and nuttiness with a consistent creaminess. For me there was a bit too much of the roasted coffee, as I am simply not a coffee drinker, but do enjoy a coffee note in a cigar. This was just a bit more in my face. Still an excellent blend and will certainly pick up a few more, especially if I can get them on a sale.
