Review Notes: I threw in a bid for a 5-pack of these on Cigarbid and frankly was surprised I was able to get them bought at my bid price. The appearance was that of a well constructed cigar, with the dark brown wrapper showing only a few small veins and had a slightly toothy feel to the touch. The draw was right in the middle of the road and the burn rate did not vary over a quarter of an each during the entire smoke. The first inch or so I found to be a bit overly mild or flat, but the flavors strengthened from that point on. I did pick up a bit of the sweetness some of the other reviewers speak of, but I would have to describe the other flavors were that of a good cigar and leave it at that. Of course one never knows, but I think these sticks were fairly fresh and a few months in the humidor might be very benificial. All in all it was a reasonably pleasant 45 min smoke and will likely be buying more if I can get them in the same price range.
