Solid little stick. I love short smokes as my schedule doesn’t allow me to smoke bigger cigars very often. I got cocoa, leather and black pepper. It drew well as can be difficult with a perfecto. Burn line was great. I got about 50-55 minutes out of this and it gave me real solid flavors. Once again a killer price on these. Great job having these for us to try Oxford!

Initially the draw was a little tight, but a 2nd straight cut opened things up considerably and afterwards the draw was very easy. Fortunately the cap covered a generous area and there was no unraveling of the cap as there sometimes is with smaller cigars. The profile starts with a bit of pepper, but that fades quickly and leaves light wood and spices with some dried fruit and raisin sweetness on the retrohale. The profile did not change much until the end when the dried fruit notes faded and were replaced with a distinct mintiness, especially on the lips. I really enjoyed this cigar and plan to get several more on my next order to have in my humidor. Smoking time was about 65 minutes.
