The cigar itself was good-looking, which I have come to expect from all the Davidoff brands. It was medium brown with some darker mottling, and an aroma of earth and hay. Due to the smallness of the perfecto foot, there wasn’t really much to smell there…just more grassiness. Once I cut the head, I got a very good cold draw that had notes of hay, light cedar, and citrus.

I opted to pair this cigar with the last of my Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon, which I intended to add some water to in order to tame some of the fieriness.

Firing up the cigar I got cedar and hay right up front, with a tangy and slightly sweet citrus note coming on just after that. There was a surprisingly large volume of smoke and I found it to be medium-plus in body although I really didn’t expect the strength of the cigar to be above the low-medium range. There was some short-lived white pepper on the retrohale, along with more cedar.
