I was hoping this would be similar to the excellent Alec Bradley Shamrock Filthy Hooligan considering the almost identical look. However, this was, for me, a very disappointing experience. The cigar canoed all the way down despite three repair attempts (one of them by clipping it back completely) and lacked flavour. It had a good draw and last nearly one and a half hours. I might have had a poorly rolled cigar, so I might (might) try another in the future. For reference I bought mine from a shop with a walk-in humidor, and it had been kept in my own humidor for a week after purchase.

Excellent Pipe
Just received this pipe, fast excellent service.
The pipe looks and feels great. It gives a nice cool smoke and has converted me to using churchwarden style.
Look forward to getting another Auenland, from CGars of course.

Bought from the humidor, a gimmick, well I fell for it. The leaf outer wrap that is probably from the bottom part of the tobacco plant just covers a poorly constructed one dimensional Maduro that could have been a cheap Filipino or Backwoods. Lots of tunnelling, flaky ash and harsh.

This is an interesting unit, with it's dual wrapper and all. Beautifully made it has to be said and this was borne out as it smoked its way gently and evenly to the nub. First impressions are very good, with an instant hit of chocolate and nuts, think a dark Ferrero Rocher maybe? Develops nicely and, when you get down to the band and (very delicately) remove it, the way in which the darker leaf melds in is quite a sight to behold. Unfortunately, for me at least, it didn't really add anything and the smoking just got a bit darker and monotonous in the final third. Overall though I enjoyed it and it will be definitely be a talking point if you get to share it with friends.

Still fairly new to appreciating cigars and was looking for something to fill the 30 minute smoke for when I just don't have time for anything longer. Swayed to give this a try with the fairly good reviews and in the hope I will get nagged at less by my Philipino girlfriend.
Started off quite peppery for the first 1/4 inch with a bit of an uneven burn, but this then changed to a sweet/caramel taste until the last half third when it became peppery and spicy again. The burn evened itself out after the first 1/4 inch and held even all the way through. Nice easy draw and lasted 35 minutes.

Enjoyed this cigar a lot. As many have said, the price is very reasonable for the quality.
Burned nicely most of the way, just needed a small touch up with the lighter.
Flavours were nice, had a JD and coke with it and went well together.
The last couple of inches weren't as nice as the first two thirds but not bad. I'd definitely buy it again.
