Not a good cigar at all, in my opinion. I had immediate regrets upon examining this one. Dry wrapper, cheap plastic band. I had to cut off 2 inches from the head, reducing this to a 3 inch cigar, to get a decent draw because of major cracks in the wrapper. Probably because it was so dry it could’ve crumbled to ash in your hands. Construction was okay, well packed and burn was even, held its ash well. Flavours were unimpressive, I tasted curry, bizarrely enough, with a very acidic, tangy aftertaste. Not flavours one wants in a cigar. I bought this as a possible cheap everyday smoke but after sampling some Cubans and new worlds, I can safely say there’s much finer cigars available for a pound or two more than this. Bottom line: spend a bit more, get something you’ll actually enjoy. You get what you pay for. Excellent service from CGars, though :)
