Nice cigar. Let down by tight draw. Seems to be some construction variability from other reviews but otherwise ok for the money.

I can see why this cigar got 94 score in Cigar Aficionado 2023. Absolutely fantastic cigar. Basically a smaller box pressed Robusto with quite a dark wrapper. The taste is a little peppery at the start but after an inch or so it develops into a beautiful intense favour of dark chocolate expresso. The taste lingers on the pallet for a long time compared to most cigars, this gives a good amount of time to saviour and enjoy the flavours. For a smaller cigar it puts out a lot of creamy smoke. Easy draw and fantastic construction. I am glad I bought 3 of these!

Excellent cigar! Brilliant construction, great burn, nice consistent smooth flavour all the way through right to the end. I find some cigars develop a more harsh bitter flavour toward the very end but this kept its smooth mineral notes right to the death, very much recommended. Tried a few of these and will definitely be ordering more!

Very nice, Half Corona. Enjoyed a tin of 5 on my wedding day with my Best Men. Even better than the H. Upman Half Corona which I used to buy a tin of 5 for special occasions. Also much cheaper than the H. Upmans. The aged wrapper on these was brilliant, a really deep flavoured but smooth smoke with medium spice.

Bought a box of these for a colleagues retirement gift. He was very impressed with these ( got to shout out to Katie on the helpdesk for going above and beyond ).
I was fortunate that they asked me to share a stick with them.
I was very impressed with the cigar. Perfect wrapper, perfect draw, perfect presentation. The cigar itself had notes of pepper, coffee and a sweetness I could not quite place maybe cinnamon? a very memorable 75 mins smoke enjoyed with a good friend. Shared memories and a lovely evening.
I would have to place it on the fuller side of medium. A good 9 out of 10 or a 91 for my palate anyway. I will definitely be ordering a box in the future, if still available that is.
Once again thank you to the Cgars team for your part in a wonderful retirement experience for my friend and colleague.

I really enjoyed this cigar, it burned very well with an excellent ash retention, the flavours I got were hazelnut, a light leather note, a toasted biscuity sweetness and a mild oak that carried through, it evolved with a dark cocoa and coffee toward the latter stages, truly sublime!
It was thoroughly enjoyable and I won?t hesitate to order some more.
