A very fancy tube, pretty band, and great shape to this cigar. Pre-light draw was a light woodsy note.

Image

Since today ended a very hectic work week, I decided to smoke this cigar that shines at me every time I open my humi. I also wanted to relax a bit, so I paried it with a glass of Maker's Mark.

Image

This smoke has a very mild cedar note to start out with. The draw was nice and easy, as I clipped it up high. The burn was even for the first half of the cigar.

Image

The flavors didn't really change much throughout this one. A very mild woodsy flavor, mixed with a nice tobacco flavor. The smoke was rather creamy.

Image

It was an enjoyable mild bodied smoke. Plenty of flavor for such a mild cigar. I thought it paired nicely with the glass of bourbon. Burn time was just over 1 hour. I did have to touch it up once, as the burn became uneven towards the end.

Nice review!

Just out of curiosity, did you cut the foot at all before lighting?

Thanks for the review Nick. I've only had one of these and it was a very nice smoke. I paired mine with scotch. :-)

Nice review. I really enjoy these but tend to shy away due to the price point. Besides, they look so nice all lined up in one of my glass tops I hate to burn 'em.
