Solid smoke. I’ve liked most of what this company has been putting out. I really liked the box press on this. The flavors were solid without many transitions. I got wheat toast, cedar with a slight molasses. There was pepper at times but that went away quick. I got about an hour out of this. Construction was solid but it didn’t hold a very long ash. Glad I tried it and the price is definitely worth it.

Not bad. The cigar had some pepper heat to it, along with slightly burnt toast and a little dark fruit sweetness. The draw was a little too open for my liking, and it canoed on me twice but I was able to correct it. I think this brand is on the right path. For the price it’s a good cigar.

Pretty one dimensional stick. Not a transitional stick at least in my experience. White and red pepper with a slight touch of leather but that was it.

I missed these when they first dropped and was eager to try one when they reappeared at Oxford. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of other Xhaxi Bobi cigars so I had high expectations when I burned this one. It has hay and crusty French bread notes at the light, and burns sharp. Lots of smoke! There was a lot of white pepper throughout the entire experience. The cigar did not evolve and was the same until the end. I think if you’re looking for a smoke with the aforementioned notes, you’d love this little flat box-pressed robusto… but not my preference, so I’d not likely smoke another, but glad I got to try this one.
