Exquisite! A solid 50 minutes of pleasure from start to finish. Smooth, creamy, nutty. Even burn and a lovely smooth draw. Definitely one to buy again.

This a a fantastic tobacco.Without doubt one of the best blends ive ever had.
Great flavour slow burning. No harshness. If i could only smoke one tobacco this would be it.
Five stars

In almost 25 years of smoking cigars this is the first review I've left, because this cigar is something truly special. In general I only really love certain Cubans, but have been 'working' hard to get a good knowledge of new world cigars. I've been fortunate enough to smoke a very large number of very high end new world cigars at trade show, many impeccably built, blended and presented, but to my personal taste not even close to as enjoyable as a good Cuban. I've been buying and smoking a fair few new world cigars recently to expand my horizons a bit, including this one.

Very pleasant indeed! Very slight bitterness on the first couple of puffs but it very quickly settled into the smoothest of smokes. It lasted a full hour, the ash stacking right until the end. I was sorry to finish it. Creamy, leathery, with a hint of earthiness. Do yourself a favour and buy one.

As a new cigar smoker, must say this was probably a middle of the pack cigar. As I write this I am into the final third and the taste is quite good from the halfway point onwards. However, the cigar was falling apart in the middle (this wasn't due to a bad cut as I received it pre-cut) and the draw was terrible. The cigar made up for it in smoking time and taste, as this lasted me around 1hr. I won't get this again but I recommend for a first time smoker

Im hoping I got a bad stick . I had to keep relighting it to get a puff out of it and it was being very difficult to light it evenly. so it wasnt very enjoyable at all
