I know these have been reviewed on here a couple times, but it's been a while so I thought I'd add my own take on it.

Size: 5x48

Appearance/Construction: Light brown wrapper with some light veins on it. Didn't appear to be any construction flaws, the cap looked just fine as well.

Where: Sitting in my car listening to the radio. (not driving)

Drink: Leinies Classic Amber

Prelight Draw/Taste/Aroma: Prelight draw was perfect, with just a little resistance. Taste/aroma was a little sweet, with some leathery-cedary smell. (pleasant)

Light: Colibri Firebird.

First Impressions: Right after lighting it tasted great, just like prelight aroma it reminded me of leather and cedar maybe a little bit of black pepper.

First third: Burned pretty well, I had to touch it up twice. The ash fell off at about two inches.

Second third: It got much spicier here, the black pepper really started to show. I'm not sure exactly what it was but there was another taste that came through

.....nutmeg maybe, almost lemony, it was kinda tart in a good way.

Final third: Still spicy, but a little smoother than before, very creamy creamy smoke. Somewhat full bodied, I'm glad I'm sitting down. The leather came back here too, very smooth.Thought I was gonna need a touch up, but it self-corrected.

Ash/Burn: Maintaned a good ash throughout, between 1 1/2 - 2 inches, mostly white with some black flecks. The burn started out a little crooked, but got better after the first third.

Final Comments: Started out medium bodied, progressed in a more full bodied smoke. Never got harsh. I loved it every step of the way. I'm glad I have a few more of these stashed away.

Price: Don't remember what I paid. I got it in a 10 pack about 6 - 8 months ago.

Burn Time: 10:50pm - 12:15am
