Review Notes: Bought as part of a sampler last year. This one's been sitting in the humidor since then. Looks great, smells great, lights and burns fine. Very smooth, but I just couldn't taste a thing! No tobacco taste, occasional odd hints of pepper, a tinge of very light artificial vanilla maybe? Just very unsure, hard to tell I was even smoking a cigar. Makes a great gift or a starter stogie, but you'll probably want to go for something else if you're an experienced smoker. Certainly not nasty, but not remotely inspiring.
