I enjoyed this cigar recently at my sisters wedding following a recommendation from a twitter user. When you say smoke a cigar, your not kidding: it produced a lot of smoke and lasted quite a while (1. 5 hours and 3 drams of whisky). The cigar itself was creamy throughout and had hints of various spices to keep the interest. However, whilst I enjoyed it, I thought that the flavours in general were lacking. There were some pleasant tastes, however I would have liked them to be a bit more prevalent. Overall a nice smoke that falls short of the mark for my tastes. I would smoke one again if I was offered, but at the price I feel there are better cigars available.

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

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!

One of my first aromatic tobaccos, I still recall the sweet scent of cherries when first opened, that warm fuzzy relaxing feeling you get when all cosied up by the fire after having a home baked "cherry crumble".......very nice :_)

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 !!
