Jeremy, our younges son gave me these for my Birthday. The third on from the left is some unlabeled LFD, next to it is a Kristoff, I've never had one of these. Then there's the Liga Privada no.9 by Drew Estate, I've never had one of these either. The two VSG Enchantments, I have had a couple of times before and enjoyed them both quite a bit, though one had burn issues.

Nice present. I think you'll really like the Kristoff, I don't really ever hear bad things about them. Liked all the ones I've had.

I would suggest cutting rather than punching this cigar as the end cap came off shortly after I began smoking it and I ended up cutting it later on anyway due to a hard draw. The taste was very "different", but I could not recognize the specific taste that made it different, perhaps it was just the blend.

I'd say it was full bodied and on the medium to full flavor. To me the smoke was almost chewy, very thick and rich. I noticed faint hints of chocolate as well as wood and leather.

The ash was very tight and had to be bumped to fall and the burn was absolutely perfect. The filler ash was nearly black, the binder very light gray and there was another darker outer layer that seemed to be too thick to just be from the wrapper. This coloration remained consistent throughout the smoke.

I doubt I'd buy a box of these, they are a bit pricey for me, but I'll buy one or two here and there. I'd say it's a must try.

The number 9 suits it and that is the rating I would give it.:-)

Respectfully,
Michael

Thanks!
He's the only family member who buys me cigars. Our oldest is unemplyed and probably would not if he could afford it and my wife only buys them for me indirectly when she says I can buy more.
