Review Notes: aged 1 year--appearance-the appearance was great at first with the gold bands.but all they did was cover up the veinenous of the wrapper.construction-the burn was very uneven ive seen worse but it just wasnt very good.the draw was good.flavor- the flavor was average it did have notes of cocoa and hay.the finish had some spice.value-even with all the negative that i experienced with this cigar it is still a very good value.overall-it wasnt bad.it left a nice cocoa aftertaste on the palate after finished.
