Review Notes: This small cigar is pressed and rugged and has a rough cap. It starts with an uneven burn that eventually straightens out; the draw is superb and produces lots of cedary smoke. It has black pepper and dry wood flavors that are not very complex but quite strong. A dry tasting finish. A good value cigar, not just for the price but because it performs well and takes longer to smoke than you would expect due to its strength--i definitely wasn't puffing more than once a minute. Will take some courage to try the larger sizes in this line.
