1. Appearance & Construction.

This cigar looks and feels amazing. Has decent weight to it. Firm to touch, in perfect condition. Wrapper is really smooth. Cigar is filled to perfection. The look of the cigar coupled with the label looked really elegant and sophisticated.

15/15.

2. Flavor & Aroma.

From the outset before even lighting the cigar there is a strong earthy smell but nice not overwhelming. Consistent smoke throughout and thoroughly enjoyable. All of the 3rds of the cigar tasted the same and didnt get bitter. Final 3rd got a tiny bit spicy. There was a strong earthy taste, bit leathery and a hint of almond. Smoke was cool and not warm, felt creamy. Do feel like something is missing and flavor seemed incomplete, but still a beautiful cigar to smoke.

23/25.

3. Smoking characteristics.

From the outset everything came at ease with this cigar. From cutting to lighting it was a pleasure. The draw was perfect and at no point was I struggling. The burn was perfect and only at one point near the bottom of the 2nd 3rd I had to retouch it ever so slightly. This cigar cannot be faulted at all.

25/25.

4. Overall experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed this cigar. Was a sheer pleasure to smoke. So easy to cut and light and the quality of the smoke was amazing. Had earthy leathery tones with a hint of almonds and cream on the background. The smoke itself felt cool until halfway through the final 3rd but that is to be expected. For a price range of £10 to get this level of quality and a handrolled cigar from such a reputable brand is unheard of. The burn itself was perfect and only needed a slight touch up halfway through the 2nd 3rd. Ash stayed on the cigar was was white and so easy to roll off. Beautiful cigar and definitely worth smoking again. With an advertised smoking time of 20 mins I easily got this to 40 mins with a chilled relaxing smoking rhythm at no point did the cigar need re-lighting due to going out.

33/35.

Total = 96 points.
