Review Notes: I agree with other reviewers that this cigar gets harsher as it gets shorter. To me it's a great looking cigar before you smoke it. I love deep maduro wrappers. When I lit it up the very first draw made me go "ahh", Mature flavor, spice with a slight pepper, the finish was mild but long... And then I got to the 2nd half of the stick. It just kept getting more aggressive in a bad way. I kept thinking, "maybe it will pass". But it didn't. Before the band I was done. Also, after it warmed up the construction started to appear a little more suspect. Good draw, even and pleasant ash.
