Upon lighting, the initial flavor is earthy, with rich tobacco at the forefront. A creamy, almost buttery texture follows, leading into a surprising blue cheese note—sharp and tangy, it provides an unexpected contrast to the earthy base. Wood flavors, likely oak or cedar, add depth, while leather rounds out the profile with a refined smoothness. The finish here is clean, with a lingering, slightly salty character from the blue cheese note.

Second Third:
As the cigar progresses, the sharpness of the blue cheese becomes more integrated, balancing nicely with the earthier flavors. Subtle chocolate undertones emerge, offering a touch of sweetness that softens the tangy cheese. The tobacco becomes more pronounced, and a slight pepper kick on the retrohale introduces a satisfying warmth. The creamy texture continues, adding a rich, luxurious mouthfeel.

Final Third:
The blue cheese flavor recedes a bit in favor of a more aged tobacco profile, but its influence remains, contributing a tangy richness to the smoke. Cocoa notes emerge, adding a bittersweet edge that complements the remaining leather and wood tones. The cigar becomes more robust, with a satisfying balance between creamy and savory flavors. The retrohale brings an earthy, slightly peppery finish.
