Review Notes: The appearance was good minus two veins. Good burn, good ash, I thought the draw would be tight at first because the cigar was very very hard, but lots of smoke came out. The pre-light taste and smell were very harsh, and I was afraid this would be my first negative punch experience. When I lit it up the cigar was smooth and spicy, not an ounce of harshness. Smoked to the nub.
