1st Third - Oak, cocoa, hay, coffee, black pepper. Retrohale is peppery, though not too spicy, and earthy. Medium body and strength.
2nd Third - The same black pepper and earthy sweet broadleaf flavors as the first third with some cream, nuttiness and dark fruit in the finish. Retrohale is still peppery and earthy with a bit of espresso. Body slightly over medium, medium strength.
Final Third - The profile doesn't change much here other than an increase in body and strength. Very nice balance and complexity. Medium full body and strength.
Construction - Effortless draw and big time smoke production, slightly wavy yet even burn, sturdy ash.
Overall - Smooth easy smoking maduro with big time flavor. The transitions weren't drastic but the complexity and balance more than make up for it.
