What can I say - this cigar was -fantastic-
Thoroughly enjoyed the smoke from start to finish while I was lighting a wood fire outdoors. It seemed to smoke quicker than I expected but probably cos I was chatting & doing something else at the same time.

The drawbacks(lol)? The label was a tad fiddly to remove (with my sausage fingers) by the time I got down to it but I tore it off in strips as delicately as I could. A little bit of a sideburn half-way, but I eased up on it and it eventually corrected itself.

Now the flavour: this was delicious! Quite complex but well-rounded, & it got sweeter about 4/10ths of the way down. I found it had a nutty and slightly creamy undertone. Nice big smooth draw, no harshness, just a wonderful & thick full-mouth feel.

Definitely one I am buying again. I'll smoke it slower for sure, this is one worth savouring every puff & wisp.
