This is a good cigar! Had an issue with the wrapper coming away as I was smoking which meant I probably couldn’t return it as last time with a different stick I had to return for a replacement so didn’t bother trying. Cold draw: prunes, chilli on the lips, lovely. 1/3 lots of white pepper on retrohale moving to strong espresso with Demerara sugar, sweet coffee. 2/3 lovely fresh baked bread with a hint of cinnamon. Little bit of spice on the tongue. 3/3 fell apart and unable to smoke Lots of body, great smoke production. Didn’t find it too strong. Great draw and devastated it fell apart as it warmed up. Would get again and giving it 4 stars as I’ll ignore the damage in light of a fair review.

Such a pretty cigar — but that was about it, for me. First two thirds were a big disappointment: burnt, harsh flavours. Final third picked up a little bit, comprising some nice earthy and peppermint notes. Can only assume I had a bit of an off stick.

I’ve heard good and bad things about this cigar but as usual I like to make my own mind up. I must say what a brilliant smoke . I had a gorgeous roast dinner made by the best chef I know ( my mum ) and afterwards smoked this cigar with a ten year old aged port . It was great , touched the burn up a couple of times but it tasted and smoked lovely would definitely recommend

Perfect for a special occasion. Delicious, rich flavours throughout. Sweet, oak fruitiness you start which develops gradually into a crescendo of leather and...burnt rubber? But a nice burnt rubber. Build wasn’t flawless but I can’t fault that too much.
