Review Notes:
The best there is? Yup. This is what every maker should compare their product to. The gold/platinum/diamond/whatever standard. I have yet to get one in the last 10 years with less than perfect wrapper, construction, draw, burn, ash, full smoke, wonderful flavor, etc., etc. This is a medium bodied, complex, spicy, mellow, aromatic, enticing, almost addictive smoke. My favorite, 'if you had to have only one' smoke, cost no object. Are there other great cigars? Cheaper? Yes, yes. But this is the one I turn to when I want to be indulgent. I won't even offer them to other smokers, except my wife who shares them with me accompanied by a Lagavulin 16 or Highland Park 18, on the patio watching the sunset. Selfish I know. Full disclosure: I buy them at full price myself when I don't get them cheap or free from an in-industry client.
