So I have recently started smoking cigars very recently and have bought quite a few different brands to try both Cuban and non Cuban I am in no way a cigar connoisseur but will still give my thoughts on this cigar.
Build was very nice with a nice draw had slight damage to the foot? I think its called but nothing that couldnt smoke, Lasted around 40 minutes for me flavour wise I wouldnt even hazard a guess but it was mild until the last 3rd then it went a little peppery all in all for the price not bad for a new comer to the world of cigars I know there are better out there I hope to try as many as possible

What a gorgeous cigar ! Short but a big ring size and flavour to die for. Ive seen a few bad reviews of others of this brand but this one has big bad bags of flavour that I loved , and it lasts forever! Before during and after I walked the dog :) Dark(Brazilian?) wrapper gave it such a flavour I loved every minute of it, and the flavour is still on my lip. It is strong, not for the faint hearted but suits me all the way to then end, theyve got his one right, Ill try the others but this is a go to for a treat, it aint cheap by any means but worth every penny as a once a week bonus for walking Dog ! Draw was perfect and never went out even though Im a slow smoker, maybe why cigars last me longer than stated times. Cant find a fault with this one, if I do Ill shout it out. I wont give it a 5 star, might be some better but otherwise I would have.

Looks evil, gives off and evil amount of smoke, but my word is it lovely. Possibly one of the best constructed cigars Ive smoked. Easy light, even burn and a lovely flavour that develops a little but never gets harsh. My first foray into Dominican and Ill be trying plenty more.

Back in the day, I had a friendly merchant in The USA who would ship to The UK & they would regularly send free samples, usually of Gurkhas. Of the dozen or so I tried, I didnt find a single one I wanted to smoke again! They all tasted dirty, for the want of a better word. Strong, dusty & rather unpleasant. A decade later I decided to give this little one a try and even though I find pig tail caps really annoying (require both clipping AND punching!) this proved to be one of the most enjoyable sticks I have smoked! Nice white ash that stays together well, not too hot a smoke and a very mild flavour, which was surprising from a Maduro. Just ordered a box as a result.

Such a pretty cigar — but that was about it, for me. First two thirds were a big disappointment: burnt, harsh flavours. Final third picked up a little bit, comprising some nice earthy and peppermint notes. Can only assume I had a bit of an off stick.

Rubbish. Seriously rubbish. Flavours are decent if you can get it to burn properly but the burn is the most uneven on a cigar Ive ever seen. The wrapper started unravelling halfway through and it stopped burning several times. Dont waste your money.
