Sure, any practiced cigar smoker will have had much better than this. Still, I have to say that while it is not an inspiration, there are lots of good things to say. First, the burn is perfect. And while the pre-light is a slightly pungent barnyard, once burning it's a great aroma. Really, very nice. Generally it's a woody experience that started with an intermittent cayenne to the roof of the mouth. Yet in the last 3rd, it turns to an outstanding toasted walnut. Very rewarding and worth doing again.
The draw was great all the way through. The burn started good, but there was some sort of void in the cigar which caused a weird spiral run down the side. Once it was past the void it burned fine again. The flavour was good, so I would like to give this one another shot
Decent smoke. Had a large stem in the roll. It was poking through the wrapper and when I burned into it it was hard, wouldn't fall off with the Ash. Not my favorite but I would smoke another.
