Review Notes: I didn't realize it had been 15 months since I reviewed and put these away to rest. This was a very disappointing cigar the first time around. The wrapper on this one was a beautiful milk chocolate color with a few veins and very easy draw. The flavor consisting of cream, cocoa and coffee was quite a delightful surprise. A lull in the middle was flat and one dimensional and I almost said that's enough but held on for another half inch. Low and behold the good flavors picked back up lasted to about an inch and a half.

Review Notes: Great looking cigar, oily, hefty. The draw is on the tigher side, but I like that. This is a smooth one, with a good balance of cool spice laced in with coffee. Definitely recommended.

Review Notes: This line is just my favorite inexpensive NCs, bar none. Great smooth taste, a hint of spiciness, perfect draws and burns, great flavors...just a great cigar line, and this vitola was no exception.

Review Notes: I bought this cigar based on a sales pitch in a Serious Cigar email ad. The description made this smoke sound like something worth trying. I must say that it was worth trying, just not worth buying any more of these sticks. The look of the cigar was wonderful, long medium dark brown wrapper that was smooth without a lot of veins, a thick ring size, and a very attractive looking band. The smell of the cigar and the prelight draw leads one to believe they are in for a pleasant experience. Upon lighting the cigar, the initial taste was good. There was some spice and a little cedar along with some other flavors that I can't put my finger on. The problems started after about three inches or so. The burn went really crooked, the draw became difficult and the flavor just completely "went south." The stick became difficult to keep lit and I finally gave up. What started out as a pleasant experience ended with a 4 inch butt in the ashtray. What a major disappointment.

Review Notes: Not as smooth or flavorful as hoped but, stronger than expected. When this cigar has time to harmonize it's good qualities we will have a very good, if not great, cigar. Wood, leather, coffee and cream show up at different times and in different combinations. I guess that's complexity. Six weeks in the box is not enough to get all this one has to offer.
