Review Notes: When I first picked this stogie out at the shop, my friend immediately pointed out a crack in the wrapper (I missed it at first) so I showed the shop owner (who, might I add, just put it back in the box) and I picked out one that didn't have a crack. I didn't think much of that single cigar at the time so I still purchased one to try. This smoke looked quite nice. A typical natural colour with slight oiliness to it. It was a little difficult to light up completely because of it's ring size but eventually it lit up fully. This is a medium-full flavoured cigar. The flavour wasn't too bad but it was a tad harsh and left an undesirable aftertaste. The harshness wasn't constant; this is actually a quite smooth smoke but at some points it became harsh (near the end, where it also burned hot). Remember the cracked stogie from the store? Well guess what. About 1/3 into this smoke, the cigar developed a crack.. and as I continued to smoke it, the crack got bigger.. and bigger.. and bigger.. Eventually I just got fed up and put the smoke down. The construction flaws totally left me completely unsatisfied and I don't think I'll ever try another one of these. Purchase at your own discretion.
