A lovely smoke it has to be said,this cigar looks and smells great before you even light it,the pre lit draw is woody with a slight bitterness and good mild tobacco flavours,upon first lighting the woody mild tobacco flavours are confirmed and also a slight black coffee flavour is present,it remains this way until about the half way point when the coffee disappears and a subtle peppery kick and a slight bitterness intermingle with the mild tobacco flavours,this increases in the last two inches and an earthy taste starts to overwhelm the other flavours. I disagree that this is a full bodied smoke mild/medium I'd say comparable to somewhere between a HdM and a romeo and I smoked it on an empty stomach with a cup of tea! But still very good

I must say this is a pretty good cigar for the price. It starts of a bit peppery but then as it slowly burns through the spiciness subsides and it becomes more mellow with hints of leather and caramel. The build quality is ok although I have found the draw end can become a bit fragile as you go through it.
I am a newbie at this but honestly the experience has been very pleasant. It goes well with whisky although I bet it goes better with some Coniac. i would recommend this for anyone starting off and on a budget. Well worth it. Lasted me about 45-50 minutes with draws every few minutes.

Good sturdy blade, will get through just about anything - used it the other day on the Alec Bradley Texas Lancero. Sharp blade, sturdy feel, good grip, thoroughly recommended. Only downside is that it doesn't have the same style-factor as a metal alternative, though I have always preferred factor over form!

Received my humi and actually looks more expensive than it is, looks really nice. One thing i will say is that on the instruction booklet it says that you shouldn't have to season it, but i would advise that you do, because i tried to use it from the get go, and it ended up me having to season it, that's not a problem, just a tip i would give to any possible buyers, takes a day or two, but well worth doing. definitely recommend this to everyone as a starter humi, great price.

Excellent cigar.
Treated myself to this for my birthday, along with hefty serving of vintage port, and would recommend it.
For me it seemed like a very smooth smoke, without a harsh edge that even other cigars that I have enjoyed had to a degree. Although this did seem to change into the last third, and I put it out pretty quick, but totally unconcerned by this as I'm fairly sure it had hit the 2hr mark by this point.
Totally deserving of a score over 90, but taking into account the price it should hover near 100, if you're looking for a long smoke and are concerned with value I haven't found anything comparable.

Definitely impressed with this monster of a cigar......working my way through most cigars on the site and would recommend a try.....an easy draw , fine blend with head turning size and looks ...if you can put up with the stares when you light one up ..then it's for you !!
