Review Notes: The construction on this cigar was deceiving as pre-light it was flawless with great feel in th ehand, no soft spots and a veinless oily maduro wrapper. After an inch it burned down one side for the next couple inches before correcting. So much for construction points. The cigar was very smooth in the mild-medium area, which was surprising as I expected more from "The Beast". Overall it looked great, and had pleasant smooth flavors and I smoked it to the nub. Similar to the Black Puro with far less character and strength. Since the Black Puro is far better at $5/stick and this retails at $18 I would say horrible value. Burn aside this was enjoyable, just mild and far over priced.
