Review Notes: I didn't like these when I first tried them. It tasted almost as if I forgot to take the tissue wrapper off (LOL) Now, after about 4-5 years of storage, I was very satisfied. Well constructed, it was rolled tight, almost like a Cuban, but no problems with the draw. A nice, even burn. Even with all this aging, it was still a full bodied brute, with plenty of black pepper at the start. It mellowed out at the 1/4 point, and turned into a delicious, grainy, creamy treat. Hints of cocoa and coffee. Beginner smokers beware, especially if smoked fresh out of the box. With age, they become a very nice smoking experience.
