Review Notes: This cigar is dark brown, matte, manly, and unbanded (we don't need no steenkin' band!). No noticable veins here. Hard and uniform to the touch. First inch of this is strong, pedal to the medal, go! Big oak and charred herbs dominate here while you puff easily. Then, THEN, you settle into the yummy goodness of this big boy. Meaty, rich, and smooth, with lightly-toasted oak and plumes of smoke covering you. Hints of berries tickle your taste buds, while you watch a tightly-rolled halloween-orange furnace, very light-grey ash, and a perfect burn. Finishes dry and vanillay when you become conscious again. Simply, heaven..right down to a half-inch nub. Get out your tweezers boys, because this is another top-notch cigar from Rocky Patel.
