Strength: 4.5 6 x 52 Wrapper: Ecuadoran The Julius Caeser Shark begins with some nuttiness, bread, an underlying sweetness and some dijon mustard. There are varying levels of saltiness on the finish, which add some depth and accents to the other flavors. At the most basic level, the flavor profile is earthy and toasty, but retrohales can deliver apples, cedar, creaminess, and a bit of a watered-down Sprite flavor. The finish returns to the initial mouth flavors, mainly earthy with milder flavors of earthiness and white pepper. Intensity-wise, flavor is medium-full, body is full, and strength is medium. The ash could probably hold on for half the cigar! Speaking of Shark traits, you will find the draw to be slightly open compared to a typical cigar, though a bit tighter than what is normally find for the vitola.
