Pre-light this cigar is elegant with a smooth/tan wrapper reminiscent of saddle leather. At first draw you’ll notice the flavors of Tamboril. A background of field and leather married to a hint of black pepper (there is more pepper here than you might expect from a Dominican cigar), citrus and floral essence. As you hit the second third the pepper fades slightly while white oak, toast and coffee join the party. Some even taste a touch of white sugar. This cigar might get lost in a barrel proof bourbon but finds a ready home when paired with anything 86 proof or lower. For the heartier bunch this goes well with coffee and a view of the sunrise.
