Review Notes: Please take into account that I'm working on my maduro legs. This was a beautiful cigar coming out of the humidor. Dark in complexion, nice veiny look to it. Pre-light aroma wasn't bad and the cigar was a good size. The flavor off the bat was nice and spicy - hits good. It smoothed out in the middle, but continued with a nice potency. I got about two- thirds through before I had to set it down ... this was too strong for me and there's no sense hurting yourself at lunch. If you're a maddie lover, this is a great cigar since you can get them at a very reasonable price.
