Mostly positive feelings about this one. First off it looks like a beautiful cigar. Beautiful banding and the construction, colour, texture and smell are all very alluring. Lovely dark brown wrapper rolled perfectly (no seams) as well as being nicely toothy. Taste wise, the first quarter was very bitter. I quite like some bitterness occasionally for a bit of kick but this was a bit overwhelming. However, this happens with nearly any brand of cigar and so its to be expected from time to time. After the first quarter the flavour mellowed out to some nice strong oaky notes with a bit of burnt toffee-like sweetness. The ash held very well and the burn was ok if a little off every now and again. It did go out twice which I wasnt pleased about but luckily this one is fine with being relit. In conclusion, I think the price is a bit high. Id put this in the same class as the Luis Martinez ashcroft corona in terms of quality. Well worth a shout!

I didnt think there was all that much pepper at all in this. The flavour was great though, very savoury, pairs well with bits of dark chocolate. The flavour actually reminded me of a sour cabbage stew and buttered toast, probably the sour and crispy toast notes. The only reason this cigar gets a 4/5 is because of the uneven burn, with that said Ill probably have to try a few more as this really suited my palette.

Peppery, spicey and woody... I have to say not too bad for me. I did leave it sitting in the humidor for a while... The burn was even with a good smoke output. However, this is only the second one I’ve had but very enjoyable..

Not the most even burn, peppery and woody flavours but that is it for me, very loose draw, very dry, with lot of smoke. Little bit strong and not a lot else for me, so wouldn't buy another based on this experience.
