Construction
Comments:
Nice |
Pre-light
Aroma and Flavor:
I cut it & took a puff & it tasted like Wood & Black Cherries. I could
make a smart-ass remark here, but I won’t. Haha. |
Burn:
Nice. One touch-up early & it was razor-sharp the rest of the way. |
Drink:
Coors Light |
Smoking Notes:
Odd. This cigar Jekyl & Hyde’d me. The first third was really bad. I
probably would have thrown it out if I were not doing a review. But, I
took one for the team & stuck with it. I was REALLY happy I did too, as
this stick took on a whole new personality after the rotten start. The
first third was very mild with no real flavor & enough spice at the end of
the finish to make it seem harsh, since there were no strong flavors to
balance it out. Once the spice disappeared though, it turned into a
complex creamy, woody, & doughy smoke that was rather tasty! It was odd,
it did not gain any flavor until the spice disappeared, but had the spice
stayed, it would have made this cigar even better because now there were
some good flavors to balance the spice. |
Overall Experience and Rating:
I went from hating this cigar to really enjoying it. By the end it tasted
like a big ‘ol wood-fired cajun hushpuppy!! So it started as a ‘D’ &
finished as a ‘B+’. So overall, I will give it a solid ‘B’. I bet some age
would really turn this into a solid ‘A’ cigar!! |

Reviewer 2: CRider Rating: B |
Construction Comments:
Nice chocolate colored torpedo with a nice oily sheen. Some veins, but
looks like it’s put together pretty well. |
Pre-light Aroma and Flavor:
Good tobacco aroma with a solid hit of cedar. Nice easy draw with a cedar
and slightly “flowery” flavor, very pleasing. |
Burn:
Easy 2 match light. Nice even burn so far with a decent medium grey ash. |
Drink:
Coffee |
Smoking Notes:
Hints of chocolate and a little spice to it in the beginning. About ½ way
through it gains in strength, a stronger but pleasing tobacco flavor with
continued hints of chocolate and just a bit of peppery spice. With about
1/3 of the cigar left, it’s gained quickly in intensity, especially with
the pepper. |
Overall Experience and Rating:
I like medium to full strength cigars, and this one went from medium to
almost full strength. While it wasn’t extremely complex to me, it did have
good flavor and I enjoyed it until it was all but singing my fingertips.
It burned evenly and produced a lot of nice creamy smoke, and lasted all
but 2 hours. I would buy it again and rate it a solid B. |

Construction
Comments:
Slightly veiny, very dry: had 4 spots where the wrapper is chipped (this
is how I received it), slightly spongy and wrapper feels brittle (think it
was dry when I got it, tried to revive it, but wasn’t working). |
Pre-light Aroma and
Flavor:
Smells like raisins and cedar, depending where on the stick you smell.
Quick/loose draw and a good cut. Tasted like raisins/Redman chewing
tobacco. |
Burn:
Pretty good burn, drifted at the beginning but corrected itself. Had to
touch it up about 2” in, feel this was due to it being a little dry. Ash
was grayish/white. |
Drink:
Diet Coke w/Lime |
Smoking Notes:
Loose draw with thin white smoke. Started off tasting like toasted bread.
1” in the toast faded, being replaced by a slight black pepper and cedar
tastes. Slight smell of burning wood. Slight creamy taste mixed in around
the half way point. |
Overall Experience and Rating:
This was an ok cigar. I think I will have to try this one out again since
this particular stick was a mess from the beginning. Most of the problems
I have with this one is that it was all dried up when I got it. The
wrapper started coming apart about 2 puffs after I lit this sucker. It
totally blew up near the end of the stick, probably when the wrapper got
heated. I think a it is good stick and will be an average daily smoke, but
cannot fully guarantee that with this sample. Rate it at a B-. |

Reviewer 4: 19redwings Rating: B- |
Construction Comments:
Nice torpedo, good cylinder and taper. Prominent veins. Couple
imperfections (could have shaken in box). |
Pre-light Aroma and Flavor:
Solid. Good medium flavor. Straight cut. |
Burn:
Very good draw and burn was consistent throughout. Reminded me of a Rocky
Patel for comparison. |
Drink:
Samuel Adams Boston Lager |
Smoking Notes:
Leather and spice/pepper at first light. Sizzled when first lit? Spice
subsided rather quickly. The last half added more leather flavors. Where
is the sizzle coming from? |
Overall Experience and Rating:
A little on the mild side for my tastes. Maybe the Sam was overpowering it
a bit. Overall a B- |
