Ordered two of these sticks. One to smoke immediately and one to stash in the humidor. First one was every unpleasant and I didn?t enjoy however cannot complain for the price as it?s what you may expect. However the second stick was completely different, very well rolled, lovely depth of flavour and great amount of smoke. Would recommend, but grab a few as you may get a dud. Would buy again as a quick little ?dog walker?

Didn?t enjoy this. Uneven draw, difficult to keep alight.

Score: 6/10
Smoke time: 100 minutes
Appearance and Construction:
The cigar has a visually appealing, dark wrapper with a slight oily sheen, indicative of a well-aged leaf. The construction seems firm but presents some challenges, as evidenced by the difficulty in maintaining an even burn throughout the smoking experience.
First Third:
From the initial light, the cigar exhibits deep, rich, full-bodied flavors. The profile is robust, with dominant notes that likely include dark chocolate, espresso, and perhaps a hint of leather. The smoke is thick and creamy, delivering a satisfying mouthfeel. The ash is initially solid, holding well, which speaks to good construction at the outset.
Second Third:
As the cigar transitions into the second third, it becomes tricky to keep the burn even. This section may require some touch-ups to maintain an even burn line. The flavors remain intense and full-bodied, but the need to relight suggests a slight inconsistency in the filler tobaccos or construction. The ash starts to lose its stability, indicating a change in the burn characterist

My first "real" cigar and what an introduction! Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this chunky little monkey. Don't let the short size decieve you, this is a good half hour smoke and the flavours are exquisite. Creamy, earthy, peppery and a subtle sweetness. Have a few in the humidor for when I want to uplift my mood.

Unfortunately the one i received in my sampler, the wrapper completely fell apart. I even used the new cutters that came with the sampler.
I'm pretty confident it wasnt human error cutting it, as ive never had one fall apart so badly. It was a shame. I will buy another one to try as I didnt even get to smoke it.

This was a really lovely smoke. The construction?s on point, beautiful wrapper, excellent vitola. The draw was great and it burned perfectly with a good ash, didn?t need to relight. Enjoyable flavour, all round I?d say this was well balanced. Definitely worth the time.
