Review Notes: I cannot believe the reviews. This is not an opus X or Diamond Crown Maximus and is not INTENDED TO BE! This is a fine dead on medium smoke. Solid cedar and leather notes. Even burn. Very nice, never harsh aroma. Well constructed cigar that you can leave sitting for a few minutes and still holds without a relight. Some tightwads say overpriced--I thought it was one of the few cigars that justifies a $10 price. Very solid cigar and a top 5 for me for sure. Give it a try
