Construction: construction is pretty nice looks a few small veins run the length of the cigar, but it is evenly packed and balanced in the hand

Prelight: slight tingle one the lips on the draw, and a slight taste of hay


First Third: first draw brings plenty of smoke and the flavor is a mixture of spice and honey

Image

Draw: good

Burn: nice

Ash/Smoke: plenty of smoke and a sturdy salt and pepper ash


Second Third: more spice, not pepper, but hopefully you understand, some cedar and looses that subtle sweetness

Final third: strength builds into the final third it is still smooth and not bitter, or overpowered but the spice remains the constant flavor, there is also a bit of woodsy goodness

Image

Strength: med

Flavor: med/ full

Overall Impression: I really enjoyed this smoke. the second third was definitely the best, but there was no part that was a let down. I would never pay full retail for this cigar (a local shop had a buy one get on so they ended up $10 a pop), but I would smoke it again and enjoy it

The devil site got me hooked... I never pay close to retail on these things.

My favorite among the Graycliff lines! I gravitate to smaller RG sticks, and really like the Taco size of this line (but hard to come by!)

Nice review!
