Review Notes: I bought 10 of these from CI on a daily special for 1.50 a piece about 5 months ago. These were not stored with cedar sleeves at about 65%. I have smoked 5 so far and these are my favorite mild cigar so far. Even burn and a long peppery looking ash. The last one I got the ash all the way down to the band before it fell off or about 3.25 inches! The taste is great. Thoug I am new to the cigar world, I pick up a smooth creamy taste with hints of cedar in the middle third and just a hint of pepper throughout. The strength really builds past the band and I usually put it out. A great buy for beginner smokers and good to keep for veterans who want a mild one to start their day. For six quarters a stick, it is hard to beat.
