Towards the middle of the cigar, the intensity dissipates slightly, with a dried fruit aroma and a slight lemon zest flavour coming to the fore. Remnants of the pepper and spice flavours remain in the final third, while lovely cedar and oak aromas complemented by vanilla bean and espresso flavours can be enjoyed.
