Review Notes: I was really looking forward to this one, but man was I disappointed!! First off, this cigar looks beautiful, but thats about all it has going for it. Its safe to say that the cameroon wrapper is one of, if not the most fragile wrappers out there, but if you even hold this cigar wrong it starts to fall apart. The initial 1 1/2 in. was nothing speical, heck, I would even say that my Petersons I got for $45 a box had more exciting flavors than this. After the first 1 1/2 in. is when the damn thing started flaking apart on me. I tried to save it but it became so bad I had to throw it out. Overall, don't waste your time with this one, there are many other smokes out there that are much better for half the price.

Review Notes: When I lit this cigar I was a little suprised........I really found that the initial aroma was quite present. Frankly, I was not expecting this cigar to be as good as it was. It was medium to full bodied with some complexity. It was creamy and what can be described as a sweetness in the first third of the cigar. as it burned it got a bit of spice through the rest of the cigar. Great burn. I do have to say that this cigar sat in the humi for probably 3-5 months......Mabe people need to stick a couple in the humi and let 'em sit

Review Notes: I rather enjoyed this cigar and smoked it way down where I received one hell of a buzz. It lit easily enough and maintained nice flavor throughout, though the wrapper was very fragile (even for a Cameroon) and flaked considerably. I am curious how much this affected the smoke. I suspect not much. I would smoke this again though it is not cheap. I was gifted this cigar by a CAO rep so the price was right.

Review Notes: I agree with JJMD that this cigar was milder than I expected, with just hints of spice near the end. Picked up on the wood and leather flavors but really not much more. It is an imposing looking cigar that burned even and drew well, producing lots of smoke. Just not what I expected after smoking Brazilas and Sopranos of the same size.

Review Notes: Frankly, I expected a little more from this stick given the hype. Attractive milky brown wrapper with minimal veins. Suprisingly light in the hand given its size. Easy light. Loose draw. Even burn. Volumes of white smoke. Flakey white-gray ash. Started with Cameroon sweetness, nuts, and mild vanilla. This transitioned to a mild wood flavor (particularly oak), nuts, and a faint sweet leather in the first third. In the 2nd third, I picked up a hint of black cherry and a slight tangy flavor that I couldn't put my finger on. The flavors intensified in the last third, with distinct leather notes and a citrusy flavor. All in all, this medium-bodied, mildly-complex 1.5 hour smoke was not overwhelming. I kept waiting for it to "open up" more, but alas it never did. Seemed restrained to me.
