Review Notes: This is the 1st time I had tried this cigar, and probably the best way I can describe it is a very good bang for the buck. The dark broadleaf Conn. wrapper had very few veins and was slightly toothy and the cigar itself was very firm to the touch. The draw was a little tight for my taste, but was no problem to fix. I would call this cigar mild to medium with a slightly sweet taste and a spicy finish. Apart from the draw, the construction was very good as was the burn. 1 1/2" of silvery white ash. This is a very slow burning smoke which I suspect is related to the tight draw, and the very firm feeling of the cigar body. I would recommend this cigar, but not at the retail price. For under 2.00, this stick is a winner.
