Tastes:leather
Notes:I had this after a long absence from smoking. So my taste buds were especially keen. Which is why I found the taste so good. It was definitely subtle, and so it was hard to tease out any taste beyond "Good." As for construction, it was superb. It burned unevenly, but that is to be expected for a perfecto in the beginning. After while though it settled down, and burned very evenly. After months in my humidor the draw was still easy with the right amount of smoke. My only reservation then is the cost, which while pretty standard for the Hemingway Line, is a bit steep for my tastes. But they make a great gift.
