Sweetness has turned into a Cashew-like nuttiness

Sudden switch to a mineral-like aftertaste

Mineral taste dissipated again just a quickly and returned to creaminess

Cedar faded a bit as well

Pepper is gone

Final Third:

Pepper returns

Ash becomes more prominent

Creaminess dies off a bit as leather and cedar return

Overall Notes:

An excellent cigar! I had some trouble keeping it lit which may have been because I was sitting near the industrial filter in the cigar lounge. Overall I'd certainly recommend it!
