Got this cigar as part of a 10 cigar sampler pack. Never heard of it before, decided to have it since it was a nice day out yesterday and smoked it while changing my guitar strings.

Nothing spectacular to look at, the band itself looked kind of cheap. Lighter shade of wrapper, somewhat veiny. Had a very loose draw too it, and didn't get very much smoke with a puff. Had plenty of problems with the burn and keeping it lit. Kept burning very uneven throughout, went out twice. Ash was very loose and flaky.

Tastes were somewhat leathery, a little bit of spice. Again, nothing spectacular, was not a full smoke by any means. Wasn't impressed with this, after having a couple of other smokes by RP, I was a bit excited by getting this in the sampler pack, but it was a let down for sure.

I wouldn't buy one again, I could probably tolerate one if I was given one as a gift, but that's about it. Pretty bland tastes, bad construction, didn't leave me wanting more. Cigar got pretty hot near the end as well.

3/10

I agree with you 100%. But I think giving it a 4/10 is being too generous! I could not enjoy this cigar at all. I don't know how much of it you smoked, but of the two I've had...I didn't even get past the first inch or two. This cigar is definately not for me. Great review by the way!

Well, it wasn't gross, just didn't have anything to leave me wanting more, as well as issues burning and draw. I guess I'm a bit generous with my ratings haha.

Yep I agree with this review 100%. This is the worst RP & just a lame cigar overall.

With some afterthought, changed the rating to 3/10.

Thanks for the review and comments. I've never had one, but don't plan on it now. Way too many other gars with better reviews out there to try.

One of the worst I've had.
