Review Notes: Not bad for a grocery store/drug store cigar. I believe mine was even pre-drilled (no cutting required). I'm not going to pretend that this cigar measures up to any other cigar I've rated to date. However, I've had two of these, and though it may seem macabre, the second one was not that bad... The first I smoked while driving overnight - trying to stay awake - don't remember much about this cigar other than it left me with Balrog breath. The second I smoked at the end of a 5 mile hike. Although, this stick is as ugly as a pig's tail, I must admit, it was a welcome smoke at the end of an arduous hike - I dare say that I enjoyed it. The flavor was a bit sweet throughout - light, airy at times. The burn was relatively even, though fast and hot. Overall nothing to write home about, but fun to smoke nevertheless. As I'm unaware of many cigars that cost less than $2, I had to rate this one as a high value. Honestly, I believe that a "below average" rating is polite.
