Review Notes: This is not a cigar for the faint of heart, or palette. The first and last third were very peppery, enough to make the mouth tingle, along with black, rich tobacco flavors. Also, the burn wasn't razor but didn't need touched up except at the last inch (so I could nub it to the fullest). I definitely recommend this to the full-bodied cigar smoker! Just make sure you eat first and have a nice cold beverage.
