Construction: Good even pack with a slight sponginess and a smooth oily feel
Prelight: The prelight aroma and cold draw have a heavy hay not that reminds me of a scenic barnyard.
First Third: The first third of this stick has a very light, airy taste predominetly of mild tobacco and hints of hay, spice, and earth.
Second Third: Half way through there is a boost up to medium in strength providing flavors of hay, earth, and mineral. Notably, there is a great smoke output though a single adjustment to the burn line was needed.
Final Third: The complex last inch or so of this cigar has tastes of earth, barnyard, wheat, and mineral while still medium in strength and a hint of black pepper lingers.
Overall: In conclusion, Gran Habano's Persian King, originally named Shaggy, is uniquely consistent yet complex, fitting for its distinctive look.
