I believe I was gifted this stick at the Upstate NY Herf back in March.
Humidor time: 4+ months
Prelight: The Connecticut shade wrapper is flawless. Prelight draw is moderate, with a wood/leathery taste.
Burn: The burn got a little uneven in spots, but corrected on its own. Ash was nice and solid. Draw was moderate, and the burn time was about 70 minutes.
Flavor: This cigar had a nice woodsy flavor, with hints of leather, nut, and mint. Spice was minimal, but the flavor was very pleasant.
Summary: This cigar was very nicely put together, and the flavor was enjoyable. A bit milder than I usually like, but I would buy another one of these.
