Review Notes: Beautiful wrapper, flawless with a light sheen. The tooth is very fine, a good feel to it overall, a pleasure to hold and roll between fingers and thumb. Coming out of there trick little boxes, these cigars have a delicate & enticing fermented tobacco scent with a note which is decidedly cedar. I'd put the strength of the unlit cigar at mild-average. Starting off these cigars don't have much kick, but they develope steadily as they're smoked and end with a peppery Bang! Lips/tongue tingling and a heady nicotine rush. The flavor starts off very mellow (as expected) almost bland, oaky and hinting of fermented tobacco. Slowly building in depth and nature as they burn working up to a rich tobacco flavor with a decide taste of cedar. They burn perfectly, even from start to finish with a firm compact ash, solid between your teeth never getting soft or mushy. The smoke is somewhat thin at first, as with every other aspect of these cigars, they build from start to finish ending generously. Very well balanced & pleasing in every respects. They leave me wanting to light another before the last one is cold in the ash tray. While far from being one of the best smoke's I've ever had. They rank in the top 10 of the Churchill cigars I've smoked in this price range.
