Smoked one ROTT and it was good enough that I might order a few more. Way toned down compared the previous years (especially last year). I got a lot of cream, leather, very subtle pepper.

Medium bodies cigar. Nice for the price point. HVC seems to use quality tobacco at a price that is reasonable. I would but these cigars again.

Wow this was delicious. Usually not a big full body cigar guy but this was excellent. Flavors were awesome. Definitely shining through with pepper, oak, coffee and real dark chocolate. Really enjoyed this from start to finish. I’ve enjoyed most cigars from HVC and this was excellent as well. Construction was good, draw a tad tight but that’s me being picky. An absolute steal for the price from Oxford. Great stick!

Grabbed a 5ver of these at a stupid good price and might grab another 5 more. This 2022 Black Friday is definitely dialed down from previous years. I enjoyed the more mellow smoke.

I have been wanting to buy this cigar for a long time, but it is difficult to get it in other places. It is only available in Oxford Station, and the price is very cheap and the quality is guaranteed. It is really amazing.
The taste of this cigar is very delicious, I think it is suitable for beginners, to be able to taste the abundance of flavor, let your taste buds fully open, really is a wonderful enjoyment.
Brothers, please do not hesitate to buy cigars here is the most correct choice, the price is cheap, fast delivery, cigar quality.

HVC Black Friday 2022, Of all the HVC Black Friday I have had this 2022 is the best. The cigar is very flavorful. I was getting honey graham cracker with nutty and spicy notes throughout the cigar. Lorenzo did a great job in making this blend more flavorful.

A great smoke, more of a medium-bodied smoke compared to previous HVC Black Friday releases. Lots of leather and dark roast coffee with cream notes. HVC has another winner here.
