Aged incredibly well at 4.5 yrs! Retained oils & color/appearance very well. More subtle, graham cracker, cinnamon & whipcream than before with less pepper/spice burn making for an excellent retro. Outstanding burn line and slow rate for an extended experience better than I remember originally. 1st half was extremely slow burn rate and 2nd much quicker but still got more than an hour from this 44rg beautiful vitola. Slow smoke rate well rewarded. Outstanding blend that aged wonderfully!
