Review Notes: Dark, oily, well constructed with few touch-ups of the wrapper in the 2 3/4 hours this cigar lasted me. It starts off mild and just kind of a general "good cigar" taste, nothing special. Flavors build during the second third with hints of coffee and spice. The last third got even better with an increase of spice and cedar and I nubbed the cigar. I bought these cigars when on sale for $70.00/box and would buy more at this price but probably not at the normal, $100/box price. These cigars do get better with age and I'm smoking one every 3-4 weeks so, by the time I get to the end of the box, they'll have some age on them.
