Review Notes: Solid dark barrel with a wrinkled wrapper and under filled foot that made an even light very difficult. Once it got going it developed nice med-full flavor and strength with a straight forward maduro taste I really enjoyed.

Review Notes: Just doesn't look like a fifty ring gauge. I guess black does make you look slimmer. I got this in a great promo sampler from Holt's. Seems well aged, the band is sliding off as I smoke. Solid, bold, peppery flavors linger on the palate and make your taste buds stand up and cheer. Not for the squeamish so be ready for some intensity. I like spice but sometimes during this smoke it overcomes the flavors, but that ain't all bad. Beautiful white ash and perfect burn add to the experience.
