Draw and burn ruined the top third of the cigar for me. Draw opened up eventually, but initially the cigar was canoeing, requiring many touch ups and delivering uneven flavors. The last third was nice, delivering some nice nutty flavors and I understood then why people say scuh good things about this sticks bang to buck ratio. I ended up smoking this to the very end, but also came dangerously close from throwing it away altogether. Ill give it another shot, maybe I got a bad example.
