Pre-Smoke
A great looking Cigar. The cigar had a couple of veins that ran about three inches down the side of the wrapper other than this it was a great looking cigar
Smoke
Has a smooth, mild smoke and is a pleasing change of pace. Medium flavor. Very one dimensional with the same taste throughout the cigar. The aftertaste was good, not too strong, and the cigar smoked okay. Did not get hot on the tongue. Generally a nice smoke. Density of smoke a bit thinner than I prefer. Nice aroma and taste. All had tight draws.
Overall
Has an agreeable look & mild & smooth flavor, with no harsh aftertaste. Would recommend that you give it a try! A good looking cigar. I wish the flavor were more complex. This cigar had a great draw and ash. I believe these to be a quality smoke. Nice outward construction and aroma... need to work on the draw problems but other than that I really liked them.

An overly tight draw made this cigar a chore to smoke.
Very solid construction with a couple of major veins throughout the cigar. Solid ash with flavors of cedar and spice. The draw was a major problem and took away from really enjoying this cigar. A short finish.
