This is my second review of this cigar. Everyone deserves a second chance, after all. Unfortunately, I can firmly say that my recent experience was worse than the first (also, to clarify, Ive had four of these, but have only reviewed two).
From the outset, the draw was very, very tight. The first cigar Ive ever had where I could see, prior to lighting but after the cut, that the roll was so dense you could hardly see it – it was almost solid tobacco with no way for any air to get through.
The first few times Ive tried this cigar, Ive gradually trimmed until I was able to take a draw. This time, I cut into the first cap – nothing – the second cap – some draw. However, the burn was so uneven I was constantly fixing it. I could distinctly feel the unevenness in the construction between my fingers: very tight on three quarters, very light on the other. Not until (eventually) the last third did it even out (and I was completely bored with it by then).
It is very unfortunate though that the draw and construction are so bad, because I love the flavour . . . if it wasnt so much ha
