Smoked one of these with a dark red wine and was blown away with both. The cigar was so enjoyable that I couldn?t tell you about the thirds, it was great from start to finish. Chocolaty, smooth, effortless draw and uncomplicated. Don?t be put off by strength either, I am new to cigars and didn?t find this stick too strong, can?t say enough about it. Buy one and try, you won?t be disappointed.

Smoke time: 80 minutes
Started off strong with rich chocolatey flavors and a luxurious appearance, offering smooth, aromatic, and dense smoke in the first third. However, as you progressed, the cigar required frequent relighting, and the flavors became less pleasant, with acrid and acidic notes in the second and final thirds. Although the initial experience was promising, the maintenance issues and decline in flavor left you unimpressed, leading to the conclusion that it?s not one you would revisit.

Always great to find a new cigar that's up to scratch.
Strong, rich coffee and bitter notes.
Very smooth.
Will happily be restocking more of these in the humidor

Was lucky enough that my first one of these draws like a dream. Smoked it along with a coffee and I had an hour and a half of bliss. Took until the last 2 inches until I was finally a little nicotine sick. I just hope I?m lucky enough that my next few are just as good.
