Not the best construction, it had a pretty tight draw which needed a draw tool, and the burn was a bit uneven but taste was good, with rich flavours of dark brown sugar and gingerbread.

I chose to have this cigar on what I deem to be the last of the good weather in 2020. I was slightly short of time and had this late morning on my terrace with a milky coffee. I really enjoyed this cigar. It lit well and had good smoke output. A good looking stick with a darkish non oily wrapper with minimal veins. I had notes of cream and chocolate with slight wood and earth. Which paired with my coffee tasted great on my palette. Pretty constant through the cigar with some pepper and spice coming in at the end. It smoked well through with good construction...no problems there. Something I have come to expect form such a great brand as this. I was hunting for a decent short smoke to have and I think this is one that I will seriously consider when my time is slightly pushed and I cant invest in a 45min to 1hr smoke. For me it was a medium body cigar. Has this in my subscription box so thank you to Cgars for introducing it to me!! I would recommend.

This little beauty sat in my humidor for three months and when I gave her a cut and a toast I was very pleasantly surprised at how much flavour and taste this well priced Connecticut had to offer. A perfect draw from the offset and a balanced light throughout. 1st third was spicy and mellow dancing on the lips and the tongue with a subtle salty retro hale that tickled with a youthful charm. 2nd third mellowed out to a very pleasant soft and creamy middle reminiscent of a coffee creme chocolate. The final third returns you to a spicy finale which once again brings your taste receptors dancing back. Give yourself a well deserved half and hour to slowly savour this delightful Connecticut.

A quality smoke, good burn, draw and ash, producing a creamy smoke with lashings of the usual sweet cedar flavours.

I’m fairly new to cigars so take this with a pinch of salt. Very difficult to smoke compared to other cigars. Burn was not great at all. I also found it quite rough and far more like smoking 5 cigarettes. Wouldn’t get again.

When it comes down to it, it’s the skill of the roller that really counts. The cigars in factory are graded for hue and shade and presented to the sorter. We all want consistency of colour when we buy a box of 25 or 50, do we not ? Problem is, not all rollers have adequate training and some are somewhat lacking in skill. So, the consumer, that’s you, ends up with an inferior product.
Having smoked many cigars over the recent months, I can conclude that a lot, and I mean a lot of cigars coming out of Cuba at the moment are inferior products.
Poor construction often means a poor or inadequate draw. You might as well throw your money in a bin.
Draw, to me, is everything.
The culprits, at the moment seem to me to be Partagas, Montecristo and dare I say it, Cohiba.
I have recently been wading through my stash of Ramon Allones specially selected and have found that the consistency and construction to be flawless.
If you want a cigar that gives bang for buck, buy these.
Don’t waste your money on the overpriced and overrated alternatives.
Just finished one.
