Review Notes: Anyone in the market for a morning smoke would do well to grab a box of these. Beautiful, virtually veinless wrapper. If you have a glass top humidor, you'll want to put these on top. Effortless draw. Wood, mild spice and a just a hint of nut and vanilla cream. This blend doesn't reinvent the EC-CTS wheel, as does the 601 Black Label, but it's among the better renditions of a classic.

Review Notes: On a definite LTC kick since nabbing a 5-pack each of their three available blends. Hard to imagine improving this torp's flawless, golden shade wrapper or the effortless draw. The ash hung on til the halfway mark before I shook it llose to avoid wearing it. Again, perfect. As is usually the case with shade-wrapped smokes, however, I found the flavor to be too mild for my tastes. There was none of the papery or grassy flavors that too often mar a shade smoke, though. This is a reasonably priced, impeccably crafted morning smoke, or a go-to for those who prefer things on the mild side.
