Review Notes: This was my first PI which was picked up from a smoke shop in San Antonio. It's a nice looking stick and felt great in the hand. Not much of an aroma to it though. Once lit, clouds of smoke soon developed but still not much aroma. The flavour was pretty much pepper to start and I didn't think I was going to enjoy the experience. However, once about 3/4 of an inch into the smoke things definitely improved. The flavour became warm, nutty and full of semi-sweet tobacco. Ash was incredible and wouldn't budge even with some encouragement! I would consider it a mild to medium bodied smoke that stayed consistent all the way to within 2" after which it became to harsh and hot for me. I would certainly try these again, especially at the price of $3.50 that I paid........exceptional value. It's not an exceptional cigar though but not a bad alternative from my everyday smokes.
