Review Notes: First of all, I had never smoked one of these. As I lit it up and began tasting the flavor, I was left wondering if the buildup was just too much to live up to. It started out very quiet and began to build. After about 1/3 of the way through, the flavor started to take over and I began to understand the hype. When I reached the last 1/3, I had become a true believer and wondered why this cigar wasn't longer. A truly great smoke to take your time with and sit back and enjoy the ride.
