Review Notes: Started off bitter. This mostly went away after about 5 minutes, to be replaced by tastelessness. A little later on came an almost unnoticeable mild pleasantness, although still mostly tasteless. I am hoping some time in my humidor will make the others of the 5 pack I bought better, because this is an incredibly un-memorable smoking experience from one who does love good, mild cigars (such as Macanudo and Ashton). It would be more appropriate to put down nothing at all for taste than the 5 I will give it. It isn't that there is a bad taste, but simply almost none at all. There was a very, very slight mild pleasant nutty flavor which does increase as you get further into the cigar.
