Review Notes: I got one as a gift and didn't know what to expect. Prior to lighting, the cigar is beautiful. Awesome rich, dark wrapper with next to no veins. The smell was fantastic. Once lit, a nice surge of spice hit the pallet. Nothing too much, but enough to make you notice. That soon mellowed slightly into a great overall balance sweetness and spice. The aroma was also very pleasant. The draw was great and burn was even the entire way. This had to be one of the nicest cigars ive had the pleasure to smoke yet. Excellent cigar. At $15 my friend paid for this cigar at our local shop, it would have to be for a special occasion, but i suggest picking one up and trying it.
