Review Notes: pre-light, this is a good looking and smelling cigar. the initial puffs on this were nice, as well. It had a sweet flavor, not unlike some AF's that I've had in the past. Unfortunately, as I continued my smoke, the flavor deterioriated, not to a horrible level, but much less than the original puffs had given me. Also, construction-wise the cigar was hit or miss ... I need to adjust it multiple times to try to keep the burn even. Overall, for about $1.4 / stick, this is a good buy - I just wish I'd gone with the 5-pack instead of the box ...
