This cigar is VERY good. Absolutely delicious, medium bodied, light spices, sweet and savory notes ranging from honey wheat bread to coffee, with a nice cedar core. Excellent construction. 15 bucks isn’t a cheap date, but I’ve had plenty of cigars double or triple the price that didn’t perform like this. Definitely buying again.

Kicked off with a blast of cinnamon, red pepper and spices that was quite intense and very enjoyable. This faded quickly (after about half an inch) into a base of oak with occasional notes of saltiness and nougat. There were no serious burn issues. A decent, average cigar with nothing really wrong with it except it seemed to fall asleep after the first blast of flavors.

Flavors: Salted honey, pecan shell, peppery sweet tobacco with zest.
The Flavor sticks around! The pepper was a red pepper and when mixed in, almost cayenne. This one smoked well to the end. The wrapper was a bit Delicate but I like correcting my cigars.

This was different in that I was getting saltiness as the predominant flavor of this cigar. It was good in the seem that it was different. I would not say box worthy but a nice change of pace if you want to change up your rotation.
