Just smoked one of these for the first time. I smoked it with a coffee in my man cave after dinner and I have to say I was disappointed. That said, I'm used to a medium/full Cuban or New World cigar. On the positive side the draw was loose (which I quite like) and it was very easy to smoke with an even burn, but for me it was a little too mild. I sat there thinking that it was more of a cigarette smoker's cigar. It was inoffensive, but lacked any real depth or flavour. It was, I suppose, pleasant but no more. I much prefer a Henri Wintermans half corona for a similar price. Sorry to say that it didn't work for me. Horses for courses, I suppose.
