Review Notes: Received one as part of a brown-bag special. Aged about 6 months. Very pleasing appearance, with a decent construction. The flavor was ... well.. wow. Not because it was particularly great, in that it had several different characters all blended into one stick. Started off VERY spicy and hot, which threw me off, but within the first inch calmed down, evolving from a spicy medium into a cool, sipping mild. Like another reviewer pointed out, you need to take small draws and "sip" this one, otherwise it harshens up and ruins it.... Mid-stick, it was great! Smooth and buttery, texture felt like I was drinking egg nog. This part I loved, but as it neared the end, began to pick up steam. Spice returned, this time with a vengeance, and it grew a bit harsh near the nub.... Overall, a very good smoke, but I would have loved to have more of that middle 1/3, and could have done without the spicy intro. Just seemed a little out of place. Recommended!
