This smoke started off with a tight draw but after about 15 minutes it opened up a little.
Tastes of wood , toasted nuts and a very small amount of bitter chocolate.
Burn line was good but you need to puff on this more than you want to just to keep it alight.
Took me about an hour to get to removing the band (no issues) and the flavour was the same apart from a little more spice due to having to puff it more than I usually would.
My total smoke time was around 75 to 80 mins close to the nub and plenty more spice was felt closer to the nub.
Last 3rd produced plenty of smoke smooth and more spiciness.

This cigar is medium in strength with woody and toasted nuts and a little bitter dark chocolate with plenty of smoke per puff.
It held the ash well and the burn line was straight as they come.
For me it was a 75 minute smoke time (Slow leisurely smoker).
Last third close to the nub I picked up a strange flavour of cloves.

Started off very difficult to draw over the first third but last two thirds was ok.
Pleasant smoke with a touch of spice all the way through.
I bought a tin of five of these and this was the first one I have smoked so far.
The others I will leave in the humidor for a few months and will try again.

I am a leisurely smoker and this lovely cigar lasted me 1hr and 50 minutes. Smoothness 9/10, flavour 9/10, build quality 10/10 ash retention on this is 11/10 it holds the ash like crazy which tells me that the build quality is great.
I smoked this with it being in my humidor for only a couple of weeks and will keep another for a few months and try it again.
Both bands came away very very easily.
The flavour I got was Smooth Tobacco, Wood, Leather and some expresso or very dark chocolate most of the way through.
A new smoker would enjoy this if smoked slowly also would be suitable for the faster smoker who like a bit of added spice (nicotine).
This is one to try for sure.

I remember buying one of these and i lit it with a butane lighter as you would any cigar and the taste that instantly hit me was just awful, everyone has their personal preferences, but for me personally this was just gross almost, it tasted like a ashtray almost. It could have been a bad one maybe as that does sadly happen time to time. But overall I won't be getting one again, but the price is descent and you might like it, so it is maybe worth a shot

I am a slow pleasure smoker and this took me 75 minutes before it was laid to rest. Consistent flavour all the way through of tobacco, wood and nuttiness with plenty of smoke.
Good even burn well after the band was removed just got a little wavy on the burn as it encroached the nub but not enough to need any help.
I have another one in the humidor and will try it again over the festive season to see if there is any difference.
Would I recommend this to a new smoker ? Yes if you take your time with it, but if you are a fast smoker who never puts it down then the spiciness (Nicotine) will get you.
