Review Notes: Almost black wrapper,smooth..I suspect it is stained or painted as some came off on my lips,and it tasted bitter,like ink. Once I wiped the stain off the end,the cigar smoked well,with a bittersweet sensation to the tongue and lots of smoke.Very malty tasting,with chocolate tones as well. Good burn,slightly tight draw.I have smoked about 6 of these and they are very consistent. Good,tasty $3 cigar.
