Review Notes: I picked up one of these cigars from the local store. Gorgeous cigar with a firm construction. Only problem was that the wrapper was a little loose in one spot. Initial light and puff wielded a vicious mouth implosion (tough draw). Cut off more cap, but didn't help. Draw opened up after about 1.5-2 inches, but still tight. Medium-Full body. Taste was sweet with sweet spices. This was a nice change of pace from the cheap cigars I normally smoke, but this taste did not change until about 1.5 inches left. Then it was nice and full-bodied peppery (FANTASTIC FINISH!). The burn was straight as an arrow, except at a few spots where it soon corrected itself. For me this cigar is pretty and tastes pretty, but took too long to develop. I wouldn't refuse another as a gift, but I won't fork out the dough for another.
