Review Notes: After reading a few of the reviews on this line, I wasn't expecting much...so when it turned out to be a pretty good cigar, I was pleasantly suprised. It was a bit soft in feel, but the burn and draw were both excellent. The taste was fairly starightforward, but extremely rich..one of the richer NCs I've smoked recently. I enjoyed it thoroughly, especially considering it's a $5 cigar. I'd definitetly smoke another.

Review Notes: Based on the previous reviews I expected to have problems with this cigar, but to my surprise I had none. The cigar burned evenly start to finish with a consistent draw. Only had to relight once toward the very end. Flavor was mild but did grow in strength halfway through. There were signs that the cigar had aged for awhile at the local tobacconist (white specks). That may account for the different experience.

Review Notes: Wrapped in gold foil paper, the thick cigar inside has a dark and oily wrapper and a beautiful woman on the band. However, the appearance of this cigar is it's lone strong point: it has a loose draw, an uneven, inconsistant burn that needs relighting, and the ash it leaves behind is flaky. It's a chewy smoke with cocoa and spicy flavors but there's a slight youthful, vegetal taste as well. The flavors do express themselves bettter in this size compared to the smaller ones. Still, while this may have been the best that I've tried in this line, I don't think I'll be smoking these anymore.

Review Notes: I received this cigar as a free sample with an order from Holts. I let it rest in the desktop humi at 70Rh for about a month before smoking it. I found it to be well constructed and the wrapper had a beautiful color and was very smooth. The pre-light aroma was lacking in any discernable fragrance. The roll was firm and the cap was well done. I clipped a good 1/32 off the end and it drew nicely, though a tad harder than I would like. The wrapper exhibited a slight tendency to run in places and required a bit of attention to smoke. When burning well it delivered nice mouthfuls of medium bodied smoke. Flavor was somewhat sweet, with hints of chocolate, sweet grass and a mild pepper left on the tongue. Overall I would have enjoyed this smoke if it hadnÕt had so much trouble burning. ItÕs a nice medium bodied smoke. One dimensional as others have said, but not a bad dimension for a medium smoke. Too much trouble to keep burning evenly. Half way down it ran and then almost went out despite constant draws.

Review Notes: I bought one out of curiosity and enjoyed it a lot. I read previous reviews of it and gave it a shot. The draw was good and yeilded a good amount of tasty smoke. The aroma was very pleasant; gentle spice and floral. The burn was steady and consistent. Overall I thought it a bit pricey and not a "must have at any price" cigar but, a good one to have in my humidor for whenever I am in the mood.
