This was given to me by my next door neighbor when he found out I was into cigars. I personally know about nothing as far as this cigar goes, but it appears to be a botique company. So bare with me.

Light to medium body, the middle was pretty good, but it was slow to get there and the last two inches were over powered by the tobacco flavor.
