Review Notes: ...Gorgeous and...uh...medium-bodied. I do really like this cigar. I don't see it as bland and I'm pretty much the expert on bland ones. Balanced is the best word I have for it, and by that I mean not too spicy nor mellow, smooth nor acrid, just nice. Not quite primo but really a complex cigar I thought. I tasted lots of different things throughout, had some of that juicy but earthy spice flavor I love, clearly hard to describe, I guess you just know it when you taste it. I agree with those who complained about the draw and ludicrously small volume of smoke for a SIXTY gauge (really poor on this count), but it by no means ruined the smoke for me, I loved the flavor. And seriously, I always thought it silly to discuss a cigar's appearance until I saw this one. I don't know the details about this particular specimen but I imagine it was well-aged, got it as a single from a great shop, and boy was it red. This and partagas black are the two cigars I'd be photographed with for the jacket of my autobiography, keep checking your bookstore.
