Tried this last night and surprisingly blown away. Good looking wrapper and with a great construction and colour, opened it up with a V cut - the initial flavours coming through were wood, earth and toasted nuts before developing into a rich latte. Finished with a faint spiciness. Developed a lengthy ash too. Top end medium strength it leftt a noticeablely creamy-dry feel on the palate with no unpleasant aftertastes.
Large RG provided a very relaxed smoke - well over an hour so this is one not to rushed but rather savoured.
Burn line went off tangent a couple of times from the midway point but nothing too serious and easily correctable. No other touch ups required.
Overall an excellent cigar - with its decent price point I have a feeling this could well become my Friday night staple from now on. 5/5

Really nice, one of the tastiest aromatics Ive smoked. Smooth, cool and very more-ish.

Great first humidor with your cigars on display for all to see.
Well packaged and protected delivery. Contains everything needed for set up.

My first AB and very nice it was too. Well packed with a good draw using a G cutter. Mostly woody flavours, with a slight hay background note it also provided hints of occasional mild spice but not as to be over powering. Overall I’d say this fell into medium strength. Clean burn line - went askew slightly at 1/3 point but seemed to self correct. Copious smoke output was combined with a pleasant aroma. Paired with a Black Bush it lasted about an hour - so suggest this is one for lingering over of a summer evening rather than a cold January night! Keeping the second in the humi until then but would certainly buy again.

This came to me as part of the Short and Quick Smokes Sampler. Its a neat little number, good firm construction and plastic wrapped. Not overly dry so smoked directly out of the wrapper. Started sweet and strong, plenty of body and tart tannin and burnt caramel making it a mild/strong but smooth flavour. It may be small but not necessarily a particularly short smoke for a 3 1/2 mini cigar. I easily obtained 30m from it and a strong stable ash stack. This is a small but mighty smoke, not to be rushed but relaxed into and savoured for all the lush vibrant flavour. Room note is sweet and mild and not in any way invasive. Downsides? Yes, left me wanting it to be much longer to have a decent amount of time to enjoy all it had to offer so a 4. VFM is definitely a 5 out of 5.

Aromatic and a good sweet taste with a great aroma left in the room.
