Review Notes: Aesthetically, this is a beautiful cigar, with a Mexican grown Sumatra seed wrapper that is a gorgeous shiny chestnut brown. This particular cigar burned fine, but have had some challenges with others. The 1st one third of this cigar is harsh, bitter & strong. Flame purging did help, but this cigar, IMHO, needs some serious aging. The remaining two thirds of the cigar is medium bodied & has some pleasant straightforward tobacco characteristics. I flame purged this cigar 3 times & it did a lot to smooth it out. Worthy of mention is the ring gauge seems to be more like 46 or 47 than 50.
