I found this cigar to say what is stated, lots of flavour in an everyday cigar.
The wrapper was quite oily and strong smelling but until it ignited fully I didn't realise how sweet the flavour of it was, it needs to run at a certain temp to maintain this burn though, which means for an active smoke.
I found about halfway down it was hard to get it to stay lit and had to make a lot of effort to relight it, wasting plenty of the cigar unfortunately, not sure this is user error as I am used to mostly smoking cigars which burn more readily.

Real treat of a stick. Well constructed, and the gold leaf is a great touch. Cold draw seemed peppery, nice and loose. Had some difficulty removing the black band but not an issue.
Lots of coffee, dark chocolate as expected from a Maduro. Pepper came towards the end. I loved the smoke. Creamy and thick especially in the middle. Definitely one to get again!

Had a few of these from the excellent Dog walking package. Obviously the entry level robusto in the pack but punches above its price tag. Lovely flavour throughout, no tightness in the draw. Can get a little ragged at the end but treat it right and it will reward with a satisfying 30 min smoke.

Wow! Amazing quality, a cigar worthy of its Golden leaf. I picked this up for my birthday alongside 3 other cigars and this one definitely stood out as the most enjoyable. I can recall nutty, creamy notes and would highly recommend picking one of these up. My next trip to the store I had to upgrade to the toro

Great smoke, I first picked up this cigar after seeing the high reviews from Cigar Aficionado. It was given cigar of the year and a rating of 98/100. I am not too familiar with cigars but out of the 20 odd different ones I've smoked this is definitely a stand out

Very pleasing smoke.
Not in anyway robust or strong, but mild and smooth.
That is note to say it is bland. Far from it, just the favours are well blended without any harshness.
Notes of marzipan and dark chocolate in the latter stages, and maybe a hint of paprika.
Draw was excellent along with a steady even burn throughout, and plenty of thick creamy smoke.
Lasted just shy of an hour whilst sat in the sun enjoying a pint from the village pub.
Left a very acceptable aftertaste in the mouth.
