Sorry to rain on things, but NO. The first third was really disappointing. Cut, toasted and lit well but very little flavour, (and Im no wine taster but...) burn issues and a bit of canoeing , it wasnt until I had to re-cut it to wide open near the cap end that I got anything from it and near nothing on the re-hale. Id so love to have a happy review of a lower cost cigar, but this isnt going to be one.
I quit smoking 7 or 8 years ago so what I save on ciggs I can spend on a good cigar a couple of a few times a week, much better for you, not coughing your lungs up every morning.
Quickly, so I dont bore you, the last third was quite passable, the odd good flavour, but by then youve lost the high of trying a new smoke. Ive had cheaper that were better, thats why I keep a diary ( yeah, Im sad but want my moneys worth and cant afford to repeat old mistakes) Please, Im no connoisseur, but I know by now what I like, and dont like, even though everyones palate is different.. I cant tell you about hints of this or that, just whether Id buy again or not. The final third, after the re-cut
