Review Notes: Shows an attractive slightly veiny coal black wrapper. Cut easily with my Palio but had some mild unraveling issues at the cut end. Burns quick with a very airy draw and some uneveness which needed a few touch-ups. Maintained a nice long light gray ash. This is a medium-bodied smoke and extremely smooth. Flavors of cocoa, leather, burnt toast, charred oak and a bit of spice come through nicely with lots of smoke. Overall a pleasant and satisfying maduro, but nowhere near worth some of the high MSRP prices I've seemn of $15.00 or so per stick. I'd say these are very comparable to the 5 Vegas "A" series cigars which are a lot more reasonable in price and just as flavorful
