I was excited to try this considering all the accolades that it received. I found it to be good but not mind blowing. Flavors were solid. Spiced earthiness, dark chocolate and some cedar. The draw on mine was a little tight that I had to puff a little harder. The rest of the construction was solid. Burn line was razor tight and decent smoke output. Had the draw been better I would’ve probably pushed it to 5 stars. I’ll have to revisit as I feel this is a one off.

Great cigar, perfect construction. I had high hopes for this stick before lighting it up and personally I would rate it a excellent 9/10. Perhaps maybe because I had too much expectations, in the taste department it was good but didn’t blow my mind away per ser. But a great stick at a great value none the less.

Personally, I think the taste is average, and it may not meet my taste. I only tried two sticks and gave the rest to my friends.

While I knew this cigar had accolades, I didn’t expect it to be one of the best cigars I’ve ever smoked. Notes of coco, marshmallow, leather, raisin and black pepper. Amazing construction and burn with fantastic transitions. For the money it is going to be hard to beat this stick. 9.2 out of 10.
