Review Notes: I've been sitting on a box of these for a while, today I finally decided to take the plunge. This is a beautiful cigar. The construction was flawless with a beautiful, silky brown wrapper. No soft spots and not rolled to tight either. Delicious creamy, leather, coffee, and black pepper flavors. This is one of the best cigars I've ever had. I'm glad I bought a box of them. My favorite of the Serie V line.

 Review Notes: Perfect appearance and solid construction. Cool, razor sharp burn. I only had two ashes the entire duration of the smoke. Strong shots of black pepper and roast espresso beans. The black pepper fizzled out and converted to cedar/nutmeg/coffee flavors and then reverted to a less harsh black pepper/cedar. I suspect that these haven't aged for a long time. I bet with time the pepper will become less overpowering and the other flavors will meld together and smooth out the smoke. I think it will age well. I think it's only worth getting one box of these and observing their progress.

 Review Notes: This is a cigar to have with a full stomach. The taste was a bit one dimensional for me but the flavors were definitely full. Lots of smoke. Take your time with this and you'll like it.
