The first inch and a half started off with some nutty creaminess with a hint of woody earthiness. The next couple inches really changed up and coated the back of the palate with black pepper and nutmeg. Meanwhile, I picked up hints of chocolatey dark coffee and some leather.
The finish was strong and tasty, kind of a salty grassiness that I think makes these better than a real cuban.
I give it a 91 and think this is a real hell of a bargain stick. It should become a regular in your rotation.
