Review Notes:
I bought a pack of 10 of these from jrcigars.com for $33.50, including shipping. The cigars are presented beautifully in corked glass tubes in a nice black box, but unfortunately one of my tubes cracked in shipping (UPS) and made a tear in one of the wrappers. I was planning on saving these for a while, but considering the torn wrapper and being alone and craving a cigar, I decided to give the "ruined" cigar a go.
Despite the damaged wrapper, this cigar burned wonderfully. After lighting it, however, I was slightly disappointed with the initial flavor as I have tastes that seem to only be stimulated by stronger, fuller-bodied cigars. However, a few minutes into the cigar I began to notice some wonderful, slightly sweet, tobacco flavors that I have never noticed in another cigar. Now, I am a fairly inexperienced smoker, but this was definitely a unique experience, and despite the mismatch between the cigar's characteristics and my usual tastes, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't quite get the same "pumpkin pie spice" flavors as others have mentioned, but it could be my untrained palate. Either way, it was a good cigar with a beautiful appearance and an excellent price.
