Review Notes: I have heard the hype. I have read others' reviews with jealousy. Now I have my own to try, and try I did. This harmless appearing robusto has a tawny brown wrapper with medium veins. Solid construction with no soft spots and a fantastic prelight aroma. Easy light. PERFECT draw (best I've had). TONS of billowy white smoke reminiscent of the last PAM64 Imperial I had, from a smoke volume standpoint. From a flavor standpoint, this started off with some spice and mild cedar. It developed into a rich, complex, creamy taste with notes of wood, leather, and roasted nuts. I smoked it before dinner, which was a mistake. Don't take its short stature for an underpowered cigar - this one can pack a punch! The one hour experience left me with burnt fingers, but it was worth it. The hype is real.
