A sweet cool smoke from start to finish with a wonderful aroma. This is is one of my favourite tobaccos over over the past 30 years.

Great flavours! First off lots of pepper, coffee and leather. Long lasting pepper and dark chocolate on the finish. Second third, very earthy and sweet leather, coffee with a pepper finish but not as intense, woody notes but very subtle more medium to medium/full. Final third pepper increase more earth and leather and coffee hints of dark chocolate and caramel. Very nice cigar. Smoke is very thick and creamy in texture. I’ve heard these cigars lasting for way over an hour. I’d say more like an hour. Personally I wouldn’t say it’s any more than a medium to full cigar. Didn’t get the sweets. They look pretty darn cool and look great in the humidor. I think I might invest in 10 of these just to keep the humidor looking smart AND they taste great! Recommend !

Sadly the price increase has made these no longer worth buying for me when Quorum coronas and short robustos are cheeper
Time will tell whats going to be a bargain but I suspect that soon cigars will be off the table for me and Ill just smoke a pipe.
Well as long as the chancellor can afford to whatever smoke he wants to I guess thats the way it goes.

As a newbie to this probably not the best advice.
I lit it straight from the envelope so not sure if i need to leave it for any lenght of time first. Was a nightmare to stay lit, was really quite harsh to taste couldnt taste anything but the smoke, no flavours in there.
I dont know if its good for the money or not, as I said Im new to this but I bought a mix of 4 different ones to try and find my feet but this one will not be in my next order.

I hesitate to give this a 4 star as the burn was absolutely terrible. But it’s my first one and I know Alec Bradley normally produce fine cigars. The flavours were quite earthy and leathery which I like. The first third had a heavy pepper finish which subsided before the second third. Very thick smoke output! Second third was more leather and earth with some subtle spices in there. Smooth and creamy comes to mind. A strange combo I know, but pleasant. The final third was much the same as the second with just some added pepper back on in the finish. Not better at any point which was a plus! I had this one with a black coffee which I highly recommend with this cigar. Complemented each other perfectly. It’s worth a try but I’d be reluctant to buy a box. It didn’t blow me away and if it wasn’t for the crazy burn situation it would be a solid 4 star. I’ll give the other one I bought a go and maybe review it again :) Smoke time was 45mins.
