Review Notes: I was expecting this monster stick to kick my butt. It started out with a little spice, then it quickly disappeared. I actually expected it to build, instead it was smooth and slightly creamy. Some chocolate, a hint of vanilla, earthy notes and overall a enjoyable cigar. I gave this cigar two daysnon the humidor unwrapped to insure it was ready, I don't think it's a good idea to smoke them directly frOm the box. The cigar gives you a equal experience after the first 1/8 of an inch and give a richer flavor as you get to the nub. The burn was flawless for a 60 ring gauge, something that I was not expecting. A very nice smoke , I bought a box of 10 and I expect them to improve over time.
