This is a good cigar! Had an issue with the wrapper coming away as I was smoking which meant I probably couldn’t return it as last time with a different stick I had to return for a replacement so didn’t bother trying.
Cold draw: prunes, chilli on the lips, lovely.
1/3 lots of white pepper on retrohale moving to strong espresso with Demerara sugar, sweet coffee.
2/3 lovely fresh baked bread with a hint of cinnamon. Little bit of spice on the tongue.
3/3 fell apart and unable to smoke
Lots of body, great smoke production. Didn’t find it too strong. Great draw and devastated it fell apart as it warmed up. Would get again and giving it 4 stars as I’ll ignore the damage in light of a fair review.

Delicious
Light and nutty I really enjoyed this smoke
Great draw and in my opinion best new world cigar I have tried so far

Bought these in a sampler and I’ve found them a bit hit and miss. I’ve smoked about half of them. Basically a decent cigar but the odd one I’ve found very difficult to draw so much so that I have had to give up on it and turn to my Davidoffs. Pity but I guess you get what you pay for.

Fantastic, natural-tasting flavour. The plum and rum interacts with the base tobacco flavours beautifully. One of the best aromatics Ive tried.

For under 6 bucks you can not find a better cigar. If you had a bad one thats unfortunate as Ive only had great ones. For the newbies giving a low score a Henry is 7 pounds. No comparison

This was my first time smoking one of these. Feedback as a relatively new smoker:
The flavour was great. It was quite mild with good, thick smoke. I don’t have the palette to dissect the different flavours, but it was enjoyable throughout and didn’t leave me with the harsh/dry back-of-the-mouth that I experience with some lesser brands
The burn was inconsistent. It wasn’t especially even, and I had to re-light twice. This may have been me, but it’s not something I’ve encountered before with other cigars.
I’ll 100% buy more, the pleasantness more than made up for the inconsistent burn.
