I smoked this cigar for the Travel Humidor that was released in 2020
very good cigar for long time, never smoked it alone
started with spicy notes, then turn to earth (muddy), then strong tobacco flavors started in the middle of the cigar all the way to the end
Good firm ash, with even burn
Medium body
