This smoke started off with a tight draw but after about 15 minutes it opened up a little.
Tastes of wood , toasted nuts and a very small amount of bitter chocolate.
Burn line was good but you need to puff on this more than you want to just to keep it alight.
Took me about an hour to get to removing the band (no issues) and the flavour was the same apart from a little more spice due to having to puff it more than I usually would.
My total smoke time was around 75 to 80 mins close to the nub and plenty more spice was felt closer to the nub.
Last 3rd produced plenty of smoke smooth and more spiciness.

Plasencia, fast becoming one of my favourite brands. This cigar is very smooth, with a nice even burn and a nice draw.
Amazing value for money as well, other brands, you could easily be paying double.
Took me personally about an hour to get through. I found the flavours didn't change too much, but still very enjoyable smoke and certainly will be getting more to keep in my humidor

This cigar is medium in strength with woody and toasted nuts and a little bitter dark chocolate with plenty of smoke per puff.
It held the ash well and the burn line was straight as they come.
For me it was a 75 minute smoke time (Slow leisurely smoker).
Last third close to the nub I picked up a strange flavour of cloves.

Well what can i say... started off a bit soapy, thought to myself hmm im not gonna like this. Well i was way wrong here, great draw great ammout of smoke and the taste WOW. Went absolutely fantastic with a coffee and mince pie(is Christmas after all) would definitely recomend this cigar. It has alot of flavour without being over powering. I normally would go for a mid flavour cigar this id say was a bit stronger than id usually have but totally worth trying, i will be having more in the future.

I really wanted to like this cigar but alas its not for me. Even before I cut the cap I tried a dry draw and unexpectedly I could draw so I lit the cigar without cutting.
Even though I could draw it was a little tight so I clipped a small amount off the cap and then there was plenty of draw.
Medium + flavoured, woody with leather and some spice and maybe a touch of espresso.
The further you went down especially the last third and to the nub this was fairly nice just a bit too much spice for me.
I had to touch up only twice due to an uneven burn line but nothing too drastic, and removing the band was simple with no issues.
Would I buy it again ? probably not as it was a little overpowering for me but for those who like the spicier smoke this is for you.
