Review Notes: Purchased a box of the VINTAGE PRE '02. These were very powerful full bodied cigars. Not recommended for beginers! Started out harsh, after an inch of ash these powerhouse smokes blended nicely into a smoother leathery, toasty type flava. Still, very full bodied. Draw was perfect, be careful your head will spin. Smoke after a big meal to really appreciate this cigar. The only thing I could do with out is the uncomfortable box pressed shape. Horrible idea! A special cigar IF YOU LIKE EM FULL.
