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

Each of the 4 cigars had a very very tight draw, even when a draw enhancer used.

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.
