This particular cigar had some cosmetic issues with the wrapper. Some smoke did escape from the holes, but nothing went through the binder so it didn’t affect the draw. I’m not sure that reflects as much in the manufacturer as it does the retailers packaging and shipping. The flavor was nice for a mellow to medium bodied cigar. Lots of smooth nutty/woody notes. The burn was solid and even. The draw was fantastic with a v-cut, but may have been a tad better with a straight cut. Overall, it was a nice smoke that I would purchase again.
