This was my first cigar from my father, and one I absolutely loved. A tonne of flavour with some spice. The flavour I was getting was very sweet, like caramel mixed with an orange taste. Delicious combination throughout. The construction was great and had no issues. I am new to cigars, but this was the cigar where the aroma stood out to me, and it was one that I liked a lot.
The website states this is a light-to-medium cigar. But for me, it was a medium right off the bat. And it ramped up towards the end.
I will absolutely buy and collect this cigar in the (hopefully) near future.

Perfect construction and nice oily wrapper. Fairly good draw. I found the first third to be enjoyable then that went and was left with very one dimensional flavour which turned slightly bitter.

Ordered 4 of these to try, on opening the order gave them the smell test and all 4 had a distinct smell of ammonia. I put them in the humidor for a day and thought I would try one, but the ammonia taste was there in the smoke, I had to do a burn purge 4 times to try and burn the ammonia off. It did burn well, nice and even and was not terrible but the ammonia has put me off. I will leave the other 3 for a few months but wont be ordering these again, im surprised nobody else has mentioned this in the reviews. Shame as they are a good price for a 40 min smoke.

Rich, velvety with earthy undertones. A very balanced and pleasant experience; delicate and yet punchy draw with a full bodied and refined character. Complicated flavours that carefully evolve throughout the cigar with a relaxing and distinctcly pleasurable palate.
For a relatively inexpensive cigar this was quite a lovely surprise as it felt equally as enjoyable and akin to a Cuban classic such as the Monte Cristo, with all the hallmarks of that same refinery one comes to expect from such a well known brand.
There was no bitterness or unpleasant aftertaste. The draw was even and careful with a solid burn and eveness to the smoke. The cigar took around 1 hour to complete (with conversation and wine - and why would you rush such a decadence?) and was fulfilling throughout.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable cigar that still manages to reward with the same fullness and complexity we hope to experience from that moment of self indulgent pleasure.
This cigar shall remain on my wishlist.
