Some chocolate in the profile, but mostly what I got was bitterness. Very surprising considering the stellar reviews from others so perhaps there was just something off for this particular cigar. I have another one in the humidor and will give it another shot after it’s had a chance to rest a while.

This was delightful. Milk chocolate, cream and cedar. This was a big surprise for me. I didn’t expect a ton given a sub $5 price point. But this definitely delivered on flavor. There is an inherent sweetness from the wrapper that pulls all these flavors together. I would not hesitate to smoke this again. The price for what your getting is insane.

Fantastic transition in flavor subtle white pepper leading into cocoa then morphing to a nice spicy speed bagging of the palate with a pornstar finish .
Great construction with thick smoke bellows that rival any Chinese manufacturing plant.
