I am new to cigars, so take this review as you will. Its pretty good in my opinion, lasted 24 minutes, at the end it felt spongey. Nice taste too. Ill give it 3 stars, as I think you would be better off buying the Toscano Classicos and cutting them in half (a full one lasted me 1 hour 45 minutes, very slow burning, and similar if not better taste and build quality).
