Review Notes: This cigar didn't do it for me. I guess I'm spoiled by the MC Afrique Machame which this cigar gave me a few mild hints of but other than that the flavor was just lacking. Burn started a bit uneven and eventually fixed itself. Draw felt good throughout but the first 3rd didn't produce enough smoke. The second 3rd was the best part of the cigar as smoke volume and burn came into their own and the hints of some actual flavor appeared. Also, this thing burned pretty hot, even for a cigar this size. If you are looking for a good mild smoke, I remember the Gispert line being a lot better. Or, if you want a better MC, try the Afriques (Machame in particular). My two cents.
