This arrived in the mail today. It was part of my Monday Night Football winnings from the Pac/Ravens game.

This is a nice looking cigar with two bands on it. The aroma is that of nice thick leather. Pre-light draw is smooth and I love the deep dark wrapper.

This was easy to light and had an even burn to start. But about a third of the way up, it started to tunnel just a bit. I was getting a nice earthy flavor from the smoke, and a very nice leather taste on my lips from the wrapper.

Image

A brief touch-up and the burn was even again. The earthy flavor became mixed with a sort of almond flavor. The almond would come and go during the second 3rd of this one.

Image

The flavor profile remained the same for the last part of the cigar. A bit of earthiness mixed with a lite almond flavor. I would consider this a light to medium bodied cigar. Fair amount of smoke from a good draw. All in all not a bad one.
