I picked this cigar up as part of a CI Singles deal.
Humidor time: 2 months
Prelight: The wrapper is nice and dark, almost looks like weathered leather. Prelight draw is nice, mostly leather and wood. The band is what I think of as an "old school" cigar company logo.
Burn: The burn was a bit uneven, as you can see from the pics. Ash was flaky, but fairly solid. Draw was easy, and the burn time was just a bit over 45 mins.
Flavor: This cigar had a darker flavor than a lot of other maduros I've tried, more leather and wood than anything else, although with the usual sweet maduro aftertaste.
Summary: I thought this was a great stick. I'm finding that my tastes seem to run more to medium- and full-flavored sticks, and this just hit the spot.
