Great quality and value cigar for the price point. Im just smoking it in the afternoon with a glass of Argentinean red wine. The cigar compliments the dry oakiness and rich frutiness of the wine.
The cigar is dark coca, smooth, rich and dry earth aromatic and a good burn and construction. Brilliant white Ash. Circa 1 hour and a half burn time.

Incredible cigar. Extremely aromatic - perfume, spices, wood. Lots of chocolate, cashews, almonds, cream. Best non-cuban Ive tried (Ive tried loads). Smoked straight out of box.

Dark, powerful cigar. Very nice coffee flavours. Quite a strong smoke, left me fairly lightheaded.

So, as a fairly new member of the forums, I found this cigar to be medium strength, with a little pepper and spice in the 1st 3rd, with great draw and the burn very even and straight.
The 2nd third continued in the same way, with a little more pepper, but not overly so. Now getting an aged leather and sweet wood note, a little like sweet chestnut on an open fire....with liquorice and earthy notes. I like this one!
A little further on, I get a fruit brandy (German Williams schnapps), flavour, which is quite sweet.
Final 3rd, still getting pepper, but now hotter on the tongue.... still very enjoyable, but losing the sweeter notes- becoming earthy, with looong finish and..... Ooh... it’s gone out!! Relight, and all is good... I just took too long between draws🙄.
I’m pairing this one with a bourbon 🥃... Woodford Reserve, which goes really well with its sweet Finish.
All in all, a good cigar for the price, and well worth trying.
Rate on its own merit as 89-91

great value, amazing construction and amazing quality. All the tobaccos are aged at least 3 years and delivers a classic coffee, leather, cedar and chocolate notes. A classic Nicaraguan. One of the best sellers in our Liverpool store. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador
