   6/4/24 I rate this cigar at 92. Great everyday smoke!! Got this cigar at Cigars Daily for $7 a stick.

   The Black Series is the third release from Cavalier Geneva with a spicy flavor profile and medium to full strength with notes of white pepper, chestnuts, wood and dark chocolate. Sweetness from Mexican San Andres wrapper brings it all together. This cigar was blended to deliver an old school maduro experience with medium strength.

   FIRST THIRD
   The cigar begins with a mix of slightly dark wood and mild baking spice. At a quarter inch in, the profile gains some nuttiness as the baking spice begins to increase a bit. At a half inch in, the baking spice has the lead in the profile while the dark wood is secondary and the nuttiness is no longer detectable. At an inch in, some cream joins which smooths out the baking spice note. Dark Chocolate comes into play. The retrohale is a potent mix of the baking spice with nutty supporting note. As the third comes to a close, a nice mixture of baking spice, wood and cream. The strength in this third was right at medium. Medium body airy smoke texture. Perfect draw and burn.

   SECOND THIRD
   As the second third begins, the baking spice tones down some and becomes even with the wood. At a quarter inch in, an ashy note joins the profile and takes over the cream component. At three quarters of an inch in, the wood and baking spice are up front. At an inch and a quarter, the wood gains a fair amount of char as the baking spice tails off a bit. The strength in this third bumped up to slightly above medium. Medium smoke texture with a more creamy texture. Liking the cigar! Slightly wavy burn with white ash.

   FINAL THIRD
   As the final third begins, the charred wood is up front as the baking spice is now in the background. There is also some mustiness that has joined and is attached to the charred wood. The retrohale has a toasted wood note with a touch of white pepper. At a half inch in, some cream rejoins the profile with the musty, charred wood up front and the baking spice is very faint. As the cigar comes to a close, it heats up a bit bringing some mintiness to the rest of the profile. The strength in this third remained at slightly above medium. Creamy smoke texture. Smoked through gold leaf on wrapper without issue.

   SUMMARY
   The profile isn’t super complex, but the wood, baking spice and cream notes really work well in this cigar and the composition of flavors were very consistent throughout the cigar. Great everyday smoke.

   Slightly tight draw, fast burning and teeth like a shark. Chocolate factory in the first third. Oaky, leather and slight spice. Retrohale is lite and creamy. Got some draws that reminded me of pencil shavings.
