Onyx

Reserve

Was my favorite cigar in the mid 90’s haven’t smoked one since then. Not what I remember, but still a great stick.

Hard draw, good burn, full of flavor. This would be a much better smoke if it wasn’t so tight.

Very dark and oily, almost rude. Tight draw create problems with burn and overall flavor. Would not buy this one (given to me by a gentleman at the winery).

Wow! I'm struggling to rate this stick. It was hard to light, even after switching from a soft flame to a torch. The burn was uneven until just under the half way point when the wrapper woke up. The construction was terrible; looking more like the wrapper was glued together with pieces parts. Lots of veins in the wrapper. The ash was layered (like burning newspaper and would fall off. I needed lots of touchups. That's the bad stuff. Despite all this, the flavor was remarkably good at medium to full, with nice smoke, carmal smoothness. It paired nicely with Jefferson Ocean Select Cask Strenth. If I didnt work so hard to smoke it, I would have enjoyed it more. I'll give it a second chance down the road.
