Construction: 9/10
Great color on the wrapper, firm for the most part with a couple of soft spots. Great shine and smoothness to the wrapper. Box pressed shape
Flavor: 23/25
These smokes are really mild yet flavorful. They definitely are flavorful but they also lean toward mild/medium in my opinion. The first third produced a smoke that was somewhat peppery with some leather and spice thrown in. As the cigar moved into the 2/3, it mellowed into a creamier smoke with a hint of citrus. The smoke from the 1/3 to 2/3 was very cool with little or no heat from the draw. The 3/3 continued with this creaminess but the pepper also returned toward the very end and the smoke started to heat up.
Draw: 9/10
Exceptional draw. Take very little effort to draw smoke.
Burn: 8/10
Started burning uneven. Became around 3/4" uneven at one point, required a touch up with the lighter. Other than that it stayed lit fine and there were no other major issues.
Ash: 5/5
The ash held fine well after 1" and it had that nice salt and pepper color to it.
Smoke: 5/5
This cigar produces a large amount of nice grey and white smoke.
Impression: 33/35
This is a nice mild cigar. Very enjoyable if your looking for mild flavors with sweetness and a bit of spice. Just hint of pepper and citrus
Overall Rating: 92
The value of this smoke is its biggest asset in my opinion; for under$4.00 a stick retail, you get an aesthetically beautiful cigar that is very flavorful and somewhat complex. I enjoy this smoke. I look forward to firing up one these with a great cup of coffee and a good book to read.
