Review Notes: I am an occasional cigar smoker and prefer a milder cigar. I tried this cigar because of its recent high marks in CA. My drink was ice water. The appealing wrapper is medium-dark reddish brown. Drawing it unlit yeilded a leathery tobacco flavor and hint of blackstrap molasses. The feel of the cigar is moderately firm with no soft spots and has a semi-squared cross section. It has a medium draw. As expected, it was a bit hot and ashy starting out, then at a half-inch it mellowed to smooth and slightly peppery with plenty of smoke. The flavor was accented with leather and cedar overtones and an occasional hint of vanilla. A double puff on this cigar every now and then increased the spicyness on my palate without any increased harshness. The burn was even. The ash was white and held for almost 2". Seems like a good one to age in the humidor. Three words to describe it - Smooth, interesting and affordable.
