I picked this up as part of a HTF tat sale here and I'm glad I did!
This small cigar has a nice dark, veiny wrapper. It has a very solid feel, despite its size.
The prelight draw showed some woody and earthy flavors. There was a big spice blast up front upon lighting that mellowed a little. A tangy citrus spice dominates for the first quarter of this stick until it settles into the background to allow some vanilla sweetness accompanied by rich espresso. Cocoa and cinnamon hints appear throughout the stick. Each draw leaves an IPA finish that I really enjoyed.
Toward the end, the smoke gave me some nice final spice blasts and the cocoa/coffee flavor remained pleasant throughout.
An excellent short smoke that lasted about 50 minutes. I'll be searching for more of these.
Score: 93
