Prelight presents a sweet tobacco aroma. Generally, it's a fine smoke, though it is difficult to discern any unique flavors at the start. The construction is OK, though the draw is a little too open. A short time after the light, I get a general nuttiness. Perhaps toasted almond? About halfway through, I finally figure out what the very mild retrohale is: Anise. So far this is an interesting smoke, if subtle. Finishing up I'd say that it was a decent smoke. I'm glad I had it. The burn was fine, though the wrapper is too delicate.
