Review Notes: Sorry to say that, because I think this is an excellent smoke. However, it was billed with the words "cask strength", so everyone figured it was a powerhouse. It's not. It's a medium-bodied stick, it not approacing the medium / full range. I think a previous description of "oak and spice" covers the flavor of this cigar pretty well. Draw, construction, and as are all above average as they are in most of the 5 Vegas line. For $99.00 a box, these are worth getting. Just ignore the "kneeknocker" claims that CI puts out. It's a top-shelf stick with good flavor, but not a ton of power. Definately recommend this cigar.
