An exceptional cigar with a marvellous rich taste, but it is not overly strong at all despite it being classed as full strength. Letting the smoke linger a little in the mouth after the draw brings out the wonderful flavours. As the surprise cigar in the August subscription I can honestly say that I am totally smitten with it and I will most certainly purchase more of these delights. It lasted a good hour, was consistently good with no problems whatsoever. I could not get any more out of the tiny stub that remained and it was a real shame it had to end!
