A compact but satisfying smoke, this small cigar delivers a robust, full-bodied profile with pronounced notes of leather, rich Italian espresso, and cedar wood. Initial flavors carry a subtle undertone of chili spice, adding a gentle acidity that enlivens the palate without overpowering. As the cigar progresses, it mellows into rounded, earthy woodland notes, balancing intensity with a refined complexity. The narrow ring gauge results in a slightly warm burn, but construction is commendable, with an ash chimney that holds firm well past the halfway mark. An enjoyable post-lunch cigar, offering an impressive depth for its size. Rating: 6/10. Smoke time: 40 minutes

Worst cigar I?ve had to date.
Blue in the face from trying to get a draw of it. It?s so tightly packed it?s nearly impossible waste of money

Well made with good taste notes but sadly let down by the construction. Had to use the perfect draw tool on more than one occasion!

Appearance and Construction:
This cigar displays excellent construction, with a firm feel in the hand and no noticeable soft spots. The pre-light draw is easy, offering a preview of what?s to come. Upon lighting, it reveals its quality craftsmanship with a slow, consistent burn, forming a tight ash chimney. Though there was some unevenness in the burn, this did not significantly detract from the smoking experience.
Aroma and First Impressions:
On the nose, there?s a distinct sweetness dominated by warm, aromatic spices, notably allspice and clove. These notes immediately set the tone for a flavourful experience. Upon lighting, the initial smoke is mild yet aromatic, carrying the scent of applewood that complements the subtle spiciness.
Flavour Profile:
The first draws reveal a sweet, creamy vanilla flavor that coats the palate with smoothness, yet remains refined and well-balanced. The applewood smoke adds a light, natural sweetness that intertwines with the vanilla, giving the flavour profile a gentle depth. The smoke itself is notably silky and luxurious, gliding effortles

Very enjoyable cigar, burns very evenly and quite mild. Does change a little when you get closer to the end. But all round very enjoyable smoke.
