It lit pretty well and the taste was pleasant at first. The sweet maduro and woodiness complemented each other well. The Connecticut wrapper started to flake about 1/3 down and continued to do so. About 1/2 through the woodiness turned into an overly bitter nut flavor that I was not fond of. I think this would have been a decent maduro cigar if they had left the Connecticut out.
Overall I give it a 6.5/10.

The key word in this review that I picked up on is "bitter".
Over 70% of the folks that smoke this cigar, purchase more.
You definitely had a bum twist. This is rare but it does happen.
This is a known problem in the past and we have reduced it to less than 1% of the twists since July 2008. This was due to a problem with the conn. wrapper that we have since corrected. 99%+ of the current twist are perfect. The different sizes do smoke a little different because of blend ratios, but you should not have any bitterness.
Even if you have one that is "perfect", there is a 30% chance you will still not like it, but based on your description I think you will if you had not had a bad one.
PM me if you would like to try another one from the current inventory.
Thanks for the review
