Review Notes: I picked up a few of these cigars about a month before Cigar Aficianado gave it a very complimentary rating. I decided to let them sit for a couple of months, and during that time CA rated this stick as the #10 Best Cigar of the Year. At that point, I decided to give one of these a try. I must say that the outcome was a bit of a surprise to me. The guys at Cigar Aficianado were right, this is a pretty damn good cigar. In fact, it was one of the best cigars I've had over the past twelve months. Appearance was great, draw was flawless, burn was perfect. The flavor was the element that was most surprising to me. This cigar was strong with some very pleasant spice and nut flavors. It is great right now, but would be even better with just a few more months in the humidor. I was very impressed with this cigar.
