Review Notes: I guess I was expecting a bit more hit from this based on the dark complexion of the wrapper. Instead, this was a pretty mild cigar, with fairly unnoticable flavors. The burn was a bit uneven and the general aroma wasn't as lovely as I would like. All in all, an average cigar.

Review Notes: -appearance--nicely rolled,great box press.nearly vein free.nice even color as well.attractive.-construction--had a few issues.one the cigar had a piece in the middle that just didnt want to burn along with the rest of the cigar causing an uneven burn.although that was not the only part that burned crooked.no draw problems.-flavor--decent flavor.did notice it got a little harsh at the end.there was nothing great about the flavor but then again nothing bad.-value--not a great value.can find alot of cigars with better value.-overall--ive been impressed with other cigars that ive smoked in the line as well as this size,not saying this was a bad stick.every cigar is differant.cigar to cigar,not just size or blend.

Review Notes: Excellent draw with a taste of smooth leather and a peppery edge. A little bitter at the end, but still worth the time to enjoy. A good evening cigar!

Review Notes: The flavor was exceptionally smooth. It was not harsh at all. As some of the reviewers stated, there were mocha elements. There was a caramel taste as well. The only problem I had was with the construction. The burn was extremely uneven-- uneven to a point that I have not seen before even in lower quality cigars. Other than that, this is a very good cigar.

Review Notes: Picked up a five pack on CBid for $17, which I considered a bargain. After letting them rest in my humi for 2-3 weeks, I smoked the first. Great appearance: dark brown wrapper, nice black & gold label, soft box press. Excellent prelight draw and flavor -- dark, sweet, hint of spice. Lit easily and burned pretty well; not perfect, but no touch ups needed. I really liked the flavor, which was complex and everchanging. It was pleasantly peppery in the first third, with sweeter chocolate and coffee notes emerging in the second third. Flavors of vanilla and spice and even licorice appeared in the last third. I smoked it to the nub, which took about an hour and a quarter. I'd call it medium to medium-full. I didn't experience any of the construction problems or off-notes that other reviewers reported. A thoroughly enjoyable smoke, particularly if you can pick it up for a good price on an auction site.
