I purchased a couple of these (along with a 10-pack of Partages Cigarillos) about 3 months ago and put them safely in my humidor. I decided to let them 'age' for a while prior to lighting one up. And I feel it was worth the wait.
After clipping the end I found a very delightful cigar. Not too heavy on the palate with a subtle blend of chocolate, woody undertones and cool burn makes this an exceptional smoke (I enjoyed this with a rather lovely 18 year old Highland malt) that didn't overpower my taste buds or disappear my drink. About 25-30 minute smoke that was slightly hard on the draw but wasn't eye popping (like some cheaper cigars). The burn was nearly even but the ash held on like a limpet but fell easily when knocked.
As the cigar burnt down the draw got easier bur never too hot, and the flavour got slightly more intense, but never overpowering.
Overall this is a fantastic smoke that remains fairly level and enjoyable all the way down. And I am about to order more to store for my infrequent smoke.
Highly recommended!
