Review Notes: I was surprised in this cigar. It looked good and seemed well made, but the flavor was just not there. As I smoked it, it started coming apart. About half way through it split about an half in long on the side! I have a full humidor of smokes and have smoke for years and never had one to split. It didn't affect the cigar though it still burned well and even throughout, I was just disappointed that the flavor was just not there.

Review Notes: This was not a good one. Construction was okay, and the wrapper was a little veiny. The real sad part was that the taste was nothing but hot ash for pretty much the whole cigar. I tossed it about 3/4 through, as it was just not an enjoyable smoke and I saw no point in finishing it. I am an HdM fan, yet this was a real let-down.

Review Notes: this baby paired great with a neat VSOP! First one was so-so, but with some hibernation (3 months), I enjoyed the spiciness thoroughly. nice draw, ash, and flavor.

Review Notes: The Maduro kicked butt. Definate coffee tastes. Burned a little fast, beautiful cigar with lots of oily veins. Lots of creamy smoke. Yummy.

Review Notes: Ok, I was all hyped up about this cigar, that may have added to my dissapointment. The construction was TOP tier, my first 10 rating will go to this. The burn was great and it had a nice oily feel to the perfect wrapper. However, the flavor was bitter from the start. It did mellow as the burn continued, but the flavors never really came out and I was just tasting regular old smoke that you might get from a far less expensive cigar. So, if you are more into style than function, this could be a cigar for you. If not, look elsewhere.. UPDATE: I would not have smoked another of these cigars, but a friend of mine offered as a pre-game smoke for the NCAA tourney. I have to say that I did enjoy this one more than the first one I had. The flavor was still on the bland side for me though. This cigar had been conditioned longer than the one I first smoked.
