The Buffalo Ten Natural is the second release in this line from El Artista for this line.  The Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper is grown by El Artista and has a Colorado claro shade similar to a medium tan. 

Off the cold draw we got some sweetness. As with many New World cigars, the initial burn of about 1cm is a little bit spicy, so avoid an early retro hale, wait for the 2/3 of the cigar.  Once that early spiciness dissipates, we got a lovely rich medium bodied cigar that had plenty of cedar notes along with sweeter chocolatey notes. Notes of crème brulee (my favourite dessert if anyone wanted to know) entered in the final third along with some toasted brioche.
