Conclusion: 

At first light a large blast of black pepper was most noticeable, and after a few puffs a wet wood, red pepper, and citrus peel were apparent. Somewhat of an odd profile to start. About an inch in a delicious caramel note joined to add some sweetness to the mix. On the retro the main note was a dark tangy fruit. Completely different from the flavor profile of the first third. Second third started off with a switch up to more of a cedar from the wet wood, along with the citrus peel and a black pepper. About half way through a dark fruit and a chocolate note entered, giving the blend a delicious combination of flavor. To round out Mr. London, the final third further added some more complexion and smoothness with primary notes of chocolate, dark fruit, cedar, and a distinct cherry note in the final inch. This is a cigar I will find myself smoking many more of. If only that first started off a bit on the smoother side this would have gotten a top top score.
