Review Notes: I bought 10 of these in 2004. I have smoked 2 of them in the last two months and I can see why other reviewers recommend aging. They are gorgeous, the wrapper is still oily and it has a nice dark brown color. Pre-light draw is fine and spicy. After lighting, the draw is effortless with abundant amoke, light gray ash is firm. Construction is perfect. First 1/3 very spicy, and tobacco aromas; second 1/3 becomes more mellow; last 1/3 pcks up again its spiciness. The body is full and it contains lot's of nicotine but it is never harsh. This is for lovers of strong, spicy cigars.
