Review Notes:
This is a WONDERFUL smoke for fans of full-yet-smooth pepper-less smokes. The smoke was amazingly cool, even down to the nub (my fingers must have 3rd degree burns, it was that good!). As for flavor, there was a spicy boom that died down in the first inch (just a tad, though), giving way to a semi- sweet chocolate and coffee flavor that made it hard to set down. The ash was PERFECT. Yes, perfect, not "really good", I'm saying this thing was straight as a ruler from the butt to the burn-line, for (I literally measured) three and 5/8ths inches! As it was, I was paranoid of doing a 'lap dance' and had to work the ash in the ash tray to get it to drop. Construction was solid to 2-inches from the nub, where the wrapper started to unwrap. Aroma is a little rough around the edges, or rather, strong after-smoke 'smell', as my non-smoking wife words it... oh well... I got a sweet, leathery aroma. For just under 5 bucks, it's better than some 15 dollar cigars I've had. Very complex, somewhere at or slightly above medium- bodied, but then I smoke full-bodied all of the time, so it may be stronger or lighter in body to you.
