Review Notes: Nice looking cigar, but draw was very tight. Had to wonder for the first third if there was any flavor ... or smoke. Finally began to get a little more smoke, but not nearly as much as I prefer. The mild flavors were not at all bad, toasty, nutty, and smooth, but the tight draw/lack of smoke just made this one a pain the the rear to smoke. I'd smoked a house-brand bundle cigar earlier in the day that runs just about a buck a stick, and it was a much more satisfying and pleasurable smoking experience, with good flavor also. I'll sitkc with the bundle-budget sticks over this one. I was disappointed, to say the least, after reading reviews on this HDM cigar. I won't be again.
