Review Notes: This cigar had a lovely appearance and presentaion with a very dark box-pressed body and a some what oily wrapper that was smooth. The cap construction was good and cut with ease. The construction of the cigar was hard and had a tight pre lit draw. The foot lit so-so with a black and white ash. The burn rate was slow and required re-lighting that could have been from the tight draw not giveing the propper air. The taste was light with some wood and every now and than some pepper. The finish was a little sweet and did not have any harsh after taste. This cigar will have your lip turn tan from the solid black wrapper.
