Overall Rating: Did I Like the cigar? It was OK

Started with some undesirable bitter & sour notes. Then some complexity, generally flat with some spice, dark cocoa. At 60 % more power, reasonable balance of flavours. Still quite obviously a Dominican cigar. Really nothing to shout about - in no rush to buy again.
