Much stronger cigar. Excellent draw and burn. First third of the cigar was not so obvious for me in terms of flavours. For sure there was vanilla, carmel and spice. These notes got a little bit stronger and more spicy as the smoke went on. Somewhere near the half of the cigar almond notes started to kick in stronger and stronger with every puff of the cigar. At 2/3 of cigar there were basically the only notes that I could sense. I did not expected that but I must admit - it was a very tasty and pleasant surprise.

Another gift but not a bad smoke. Hint of pepper at the light. Burn went awry at beginning but corrected itself. Ash held for more than half the stick, dark gray. Creamy with very light notes of cedar and leather.
Unfortunately this one was cut short due to rain, guess I should have kept a better watch on the forecast. At least it wasn’t an expensive stick but still one I hate to cut short.
A super smooth medium body smoke, mostly pulling of sweet tobacco, cedar, and light pepper. The draw was airy at first light, but molded into a consistent solid draw. The burn was a little wavy but stayed generally even throughout the smoke. This is a unique cigar that will be worth revisiting.

Red ribbon around the foot and elegant band make for a superior look. Flavor is pleasant with spice across all thirds but not much in the way of complexity. Draw was easy and lots of smoke. Solid all-around cigar but leaves you wanting just a little more to put it over the edge.
While lighter than my normal smoke this cigar us very tasty and complex. Pepper, cream, coffee, sweetness, cedar, coco, spice and wood. Blended perfectly and changing periodically what is at the front and back. I'm glad this isn't the only 1 of these I have resting.
This cigar starts off great from the first draw. Very smooth. Does introduce a slight pepper aftertaste but very subtle. Overall just is a smooth evening stick.
The leaves started cracking as I was smoking it. The overall flavor is pretty good. Tasted somewhat spicy. The draw was good. I don't think that I would buy this again. It isn't my preference.
