I’ve tried I believe all the Oxford house sticks. This is a solid cigar. Got oak, spicy earthiness and some blk pepper. I did a get a mineral note later in the stick that I didn’t mind. Construction with this was overall solid. Good draw burn and smoke output. Really enjoyed this and got about an hr and 25 min out of it. Look forward to Oxford’s next release.

Pretty good cigar overall. Construction was good for the most part besides a bit of an uneven burn at times. Draw was great and flavor profile was consistent all the way through.

Pack came free after purchasing over $300 in cigars. This was a pleasant surprise and I’ve grown to respect Oxford cigar’s tastes. I will definitely consider purchasing again.

I finally tried on of these, I’d had them for a few weeks at the time. Flavours were excellent but draw was uneven and a little tight. May have been the cold conditions contributing but I’ll waiting before the next one. Looking forward to it and hoping for improvement. Still enjoyable and well worth trying.

Good flavor and nice draw, but a couple sticks needed a bit of a touch up due to some tunneling, but overall quite happy. Good value stick!

Good construction, even burn, nice draw. Notes of pepper, scorched earth, with hints of mocha. When you throw in the Oxford pricing and service, this stick represents good value.
