Full of spiced coffee and chocolate notes, the cigar just never seems to miss. Definitely worth one visiting time and time again. The draw is smooth, while the burn stays fairly even all the way down.
Creamy coffee and plenty of woodsiness. A smooth rich cigar all the way. Has a slight chalky taste at times, but the flavors stay true. Adequate draw and even burn.
Nice cigar, good draw, good brn, great construction. Consistent rich woody, coffee notes… unfortunately it got bitter in the last third… Not my vitola…
Beautiful perfecto cigar: dark, oily maduro wrapper. Flawlessly rolled. Slightly tight draw. Full, creamy, flavorful smoke. Peppery, rich, slightly sweet and woody start. Very balanced, no harshness. The cigar evolves in the second third with chocolate and espresso notes taking over and pepper taking more of a backseat. The cigar gets stronger earthy and leathery in the last third… A fantastic cigar
This is a good, strong cigar. I had a little initial trouble with a good light, but a little touch up corrected it. It holds a good ash, too, but the draw is a little tight. The flavor is very hay and cedar. The retrohale is smoother than expected, with less bite than much more mellow cigars.
Review of a 5 Pack: 6/27/24 session #1; Rich earthy chocolate flavor first half. There was a hint of cedar becoming stronger the second half.7/29/24 - S2; Very enjoyable, the rich flavors of the maduro wrapper pair nicely with my morning coffee. 8/5/24 - S3; Late afternoon smoke pared with a Stella Artois Leberté 0.0%.
This stick is consistent in flavor and burn. A very enjoyable cigar.
Had this one sitting around 64% for the past 6 months. Smooth smooth smooth. Perfect construction, slightly wavy burn line at first that immediately corrected and stayed razor sharp the rest of the way. Perfect draw with the right amount of resistance.
I'm going to be honest: it sucked. One of the most off-putting flavor I've had in a cigar. It tasted like salty metal seasoned with dirt. Maybe I got a bad one. I just can't imagine all of the fuss a couple years ago about that cigar. It burned evenly but the entire cigar heated up and was almost too hot to hold. It's been in a very well maintained humidor at around 68% rh for over a year so it's not like it was too dry. Fail
Total enjoyment. Held an incredible ash for a long time. Flavor was mild, without any hint harsh after burn or taste. Smoked it to a beard burning nub 'cause I just couldn't flick it away. One light and no touchups. It was stored at 69% RH prior to ligting. Temp on my patio is 60F, which contributed to an over all cool smoke in my mouth. I was expecting a very good smoke, but this exceeded expectations.
