Pre-light: Just smells like your normal cigar tobacco.

Taste of the cigar: This cigar had a woodsy, and nutty taste to it. It is very bland tasting. I don't taste any spice in it.

Construction: Held an average ash. The draw was a little tight. The cigar required a few touchups, but had a razor sharp burn for the most part

Strength: This was a medium cigar.

Summary: This cigar was extremely bland and one-dimensional to me. It was hard to pick up any flavor in this cigar. I stopped smoking it with 4" left on it. I give it a 5/10
