Excellent construction and well aged tobacco. This cigar has a unique musty, sweetness going on with just a tad bit of spice. Nice, interesting stick from COA

This cigar is really rich and creamy with fruity and earthy profile and notes of spice. I would give this cigar 5-star rating but I got a dud with burn issues. This is not a common theme I am seeing online so I am ruling this out a one time occurrence. I was only able to enjoy half of the cigar until the cigar kept going out and I had a hard time keeping it light.

Wrapper came already yellowed! Delicious age and a super interesting profile. It burned razor sharp and had a great draw. Definitely worth a try, especially if you liked the first release!
