Review Notes: I just got back last night (6/3) from getting married in Miami. I smoked my second with my best man while he smoked an Opus X to celebrate what just happened. I was even more impressed with this cigar than the first one. The second one I smoked had an easier pre-lit draw that was just perfect. As soon as I lit it, everyone near me just admired the aroma that came out of this stoogie. The best way that I can describe the taste is... heaven on earth. It burned sooo evenly, I didn't want the ash to fall off till the nub and take a picture. This cigar had more plume on it than the last, hence the slightly better value rating. I called my BM and asked if i can buy a box as soon as they come in.

Review Notes: I bought 2 to commerate a special occasion and kinda got bent over on price but I was willing to spend it because of the reputation and the fact that I could get 2, well #1 was a monumental dissapointment, tough draw, uneven burn, I had to work so hard to get the smoke that I never tasted it, I ended up putting it down to an early death after an exhausting inch or so. I am going to let the other one age a while, I couldnt handle 2 monumental dissapointments this year!

Review Notes: I had the chance to purchase 2 from my BM. WOW oh WOW! When I pick out the last 2 from the box, I noticed some white spots on the cigar. I immediately informed the owner and he just laughed. IT WAS PLUME! WONDERFUL PLUME!!! He had stored the box away from direct eyesight and he hasn't sold one in about 4 months. The box was about 1 1/2 years old. I have never seen a cigar with so much plume before. As soon as I got home, I lit one up and was just overwhelmed with the taste, aroma, and not to mention the shape. I noticed that this cigar was highly packed and was heavy. At first, I had tasted hints of chocolate and coffee, but it quickly shifted to pepper and a woodsy taste. All in all, it kept a nice sweet taste too. I did run into a small burn issue right where it goes from box press to rounded. A small touch up and thats all. I got these at a steal...MSRP! I am looking to score some more if possible.

Review Notes: I wouldn't pay much over MSRP on these, but they are worth the price that reputable vendors charge. Burn is usually right on, flavor always amazing. Try these fresh or try these aged, you won't be disappointed. The one negative on this cigar is that they always have trouble staying lit during the last 1/3. Watch out for mold problems as the connecticut broadleaf wrapper is prone to issues.

Review Notes: tighly packed- but ok draw. incredible aroma with a woody/spice flavor. Very rich-full bodied and very slow burning. Nice ash. razor sharp burn. Cant get much better than this.
