Being new to cigars I have been relying on reviews to guide my purchases and I can endorse all of the praise which other reviewers have levelled at this cigar. Being an experienced review reader I appreciate the short ones so getting to the point, It is simply perfect for me and I would recommend these all day long.

Have smoked two of these now and have been impressed by both. I prefer mild cigars which still deliver on taste and have quality, these little smokes cover all these bases for me. Great to have in the collection for when time is short but a little indulgence is required.

I was given a box of these as a present, I’ve aged them for about 9months given a few away, smoked 7/8 now, and for me they are a mild to medium body cigar with medium strength, first light started out with a peppery wood taste, 10mins in, it dropped all the peppery zest and had a smooth slightly creamy Finnish, the flavours are a bread and soft wood taste with a leathery and honey notes on the retrohale, a long Finnish with the flavours lasting till the next draw, a firm dense even packed cigar, which burned slow and evenly, well made, I usually go for a more full bodied sweet dark maduro cigar, but these make a really nice change, a smooth good for mid morning/ breakfast, definitely worth a try.

Great smoke! Great construction, amazing burn. Typical Hoyo smoothness with subtle flavours that get a little stronger and more complex in the 2nd third. Possibly a bit weak for anyone who likes a strong smoke, but for fans of creamy smoothness I highly recommend them.

A very high quality rich brown flake, pouch note is of milk chocolate, rubs out very well, not too moist, perfect, this isnt at all a overly sweet smoke, almost savoury! A definate chocolate taste is there though, the room note is gorgeous, a real treat and a perfect moisture free delight. Lovely stuff 10/10!

It is an impressive cigar to hold in ones hand and provides over an hour of satisfying flavors. However, coming with the high pedigree of being 2011s best, this smoker was left a bit underwhelmed.
It burnt well but the presence of peppery, woody notes carried on uninterrupted throughout the entirety of my experience never evolving into anything more nuanced. There is nothing wrong with sticking to a chosen profile and executing it well but perhaps the reputation of this particular stick somewhat ruined the joy of smoking it. Still, with its medium to high strength and grounded, strong flavors it does leave you pleasantly lightheaded and is certainly satisfying.
