One and a half inches down and some flavor shifts start to happen. The draw still has a fairly punishing pepper, especially through the retro-hale. The finish has creamy textured earthiness followed by a bold black coffee. The black coffee is the main note on the finish. The body is up to a full and the flavors stay on the palate long into the next draw. The burn remains razor sharp.
Two inches down and some more flavor shifts occur. The draw has seen the black pepper come down a few notches and a sweet and rich cedar is the main note on the draw. The finish starts out with the earthiness but then sees the black coffee come back into play. After a few puffs a dark bakers chocolate mixes with the coffee and black pepper for a spicy mocha note. Its quite unique and delicious. The cigar is still at a full body and some strength is starting to come in as well. The strength is at a medium but is giving me quite the head rush. The burn did go slightly wavy and require a minor touch up.
With just over and inch and a half left of the cigar the flavors are being washed out by a warm chard tobacco and leather taste. I sat the cigar down for the last time at the 1 hour and 7 minute mark, a pretty good time for a robusto. Overall, this cigar was a tiny powerhouse with good flavor and nice complexity.
