Nice construction, even burn, nice long white ash. Taste wise, slightly spicy, woody, and nutty all the way through. Lasted about 40 minutes, for the price I am extremely happy.
Nice little 30min smoke. Easy to draw with a nice mild start becoming stronger at the end. Burned evenly with a lovely white ash. Pleasant aroma from the smoke. An enjoyable cigar for the price.
I found this budget cigar to be quite coarse, no depth or complexity and a very one dimensional smoke. Very average. I'd favour a machine made Dutch cigar over these I'm afraid. It is a budget cigar but my goodness for (literally) a couple of pounds more one can buy wonderful cigars.
The wrapper was faultless and the stick had a solid feel and construction pre-light. The first 2 thirds were surprisingly sweet and nutty with the final third becoming slightly bitter. Superb white ash and perfect burn led to around 35-40 minutes of good value for money non Cuban experience. I think I do prefer the Cuban cigars but I would recommend this as a really decent smoke on a budget.
