I smoked one last night and it was wonderful. Started off with a little pepper and then turned creamy/nutty with some bitter coffee, like a turkish coffee. Towards the middle of the cigar I got some cocoa and a hint of spice here and there. But the creamy/nuttiness dominated. I suspected that the cigar would get bitter towards the end but it did not do so at all. As someone who smokes 90% CCs, I have to say that this is one of the best NCs that I have tried. With some time, I think these will develop into something like a very strong Cohiba Genios.
