1. Appearance & Construction.
The cigar looked a little rough also felt rough and slightly bumpy in areas. Had good weight to it considering its a small cigar. Label is bold, vibrant, and in your face.

The flavor and aroma is consistent from the pre-light and during the course of the smoke. Slight sweetness with a kick of spice. Big bold in your face flavours that matches the label. The flavor was consistent throughout all 3rds of the cigar. Surprisingly the final 3rd did not get bitter and I could smoke right to the nib.
25 points.
