Review Notes: Honestly, have smoked four or five of these and have not had a single issue yet. Fantastic construction silky smooth draw. very complex flavor for a cigar this smooth, lots of chocolate, coffee, caramel. some slight oak in the finish has very little pepper or bite. ash is smooth and sturdy with an very even burn. trying hard to find a down point, but each one has been great all the way through. FYI they are getting hard to come by bc they are Afficianado's cigar of the year 2012
