Rating: A- |
Construction
Comments:
Nice, but not great. Spongy in some spots & firm in others. I was worried
that this was a cheap cigar based on the inconsistency. |
Pre-light
Aroma and Flavor:
Typical tobacco flavors. Pleasant & made me excited to light up. |
Burn:
Perfect!! I mean really nice. I was very impressed!! |
Drink:
Ice water |
Smoking Notes:
I really had no idea what to expect with this cigar. The construction
issues made me think it might not be too good. I was dead wrong! It was
well behaved with lots of smoke & EXCELLENT flavors. The draw was a bit
tight, but it was not an issue. The flavors started as a creamy cocca &
evolved into an earthy, woodsy flavor. A great combo that made me excited
for each puff. |
Overall Experience and Rating:
This was an excellent cigar that I WILL smoke again! The beginning flavor
of creamy cocoa was just wonderful. I mean really, really good!! I highly
enjoyed my time with this cigar & have no trouble giving it an A-. It
would have been higher if not for the slight construction issues. I want
to give Kevin a big kiss for sending these my way!!! |

Reviewer 2: Slowburning Rating: B |
Construction Comments:
Firm, no soft spot. Brown wrapper with tiny veins. |
Pre-light Aroma and Flavor:
Cocoa and chocolate, with a little peppery spicy. |
Burn:
Good and even burn. At one point, it tunneled a little, but corrected
itself, no touch up need. |
Drink:
Coffee. |
Smoking Notes:
This cigar produced a large cloud of smoke. Easy draw, with a sweet taste
coated the palate after each puff. Slow and cool burn. Flavors include
nutty and woodsy. |
Overall Experience and Rating:
This is a medium strength cigar. It open with a burst of pepper spicy
note. Good draw, cool burning with good amount of smoke. B |

Construction
Comments:
Very nice looking wrapper. Firm construction. minimal veins. |
Pre-light Aroma and
Flavor:
Light leather with some pepper. Draw is tight. Xikar cut. |
Burn:
It had an even burn with firm white ash. Could not get quite the amount of
smoke I wanted until about half way. |
Drink:
Water |
Smoking Notes:
This smoke was subtle but showed me several different sides. A light smoke
to begin with delivering Leather and Spice. Exhibited some creaminess
starting about mid smoke. Slightly sweet finish. It became a medium bodied
smoke in the second half. |
Overall Experience and Rating:
A smoke from Panama. Well how about that! I have to admit I was not
expecting very much from this cigar but I was pleasantly surprised. Looked
good, smelled good. The draw was too tight, making me have to be more
patient than I wanted. But there was some good flavor in this cigar. I
would do it again. In fact, I think i will. B+ |

Reviewer 4: Charlie Rating: F |
Construction Comments:
Cigar feels manufactured, despite the claim it is hand rolled. Wrapper and
binding are thin, and they are not well differentiated. |
Pre-light Aroma and Flavor:
The light wrapper is followed by a light smoke. The cigar was soft to the
touch, and kind of mooshed when I cut it, but I did not get a lot from it
when I drew before smoking. |
Burn:
Very even, and fast. It created a long, consistent ash, like a cigarette. |
Drink:
I got a light cedar flavor while smoking this light cigar, but not much
else. No sophistication or sublety to it at all. |
Smoking Notes:
|
Overall Experience and Rating:
F. The only place this would pass as a premium cigar is in a convenience
store. |
