Review Notes: I'm not willing to call this a massive disappointment because you can't expect too much from a $5 cigar, but it is disappointing because I had heard so many great things about it, and this stick, frankly does not live up to some of the fine reviews on this very site. It's an attractive cigar and feels well made. The draw was good and it produced copious rich smoke. But the flavor maxed out a a moderately satisfying black pepper withh no depth or complexity. Most disappointing however was the hideously ugly, unsalvageable, uneven burn. This thing was more stressful to have in the room than not having a cigar at all.
