The grayish ash holds strongly for an inch or two.

Even though Dominican fillers are usually quite mild, this cigar has a medium body, and you can expect even more strength with the Maduro wrapper.

The hints of coffee flavors blend soothingly with flavors of nuts and milk, which provides an enhanced smooth taste.
