Review Notes: Ok, the shap of this stogie is indeed a conversation piece, but I found little else of interest here (but the Gurk Centurian XX pulls the shape off better). The cigar's burn did not expand to evenly burn the thick center area the way I hoped it would. I needed significant touch-ups and there was some canoeing. The flavor was very mild with no harshness. It would be a great beginner smoke in that respect if it did not cost 5 bucks a stick. There are many many other mild smokes to try before you get to this one, if you ever do. All-in-all, a very average smoke in an interesting wrapper.
