| Appearance: Lighter-colored maduro. Slightly dry-looking, possibly aging related. |
6.5 |
 |
| Construction: Fairly smoothly wrapped with a low # & prominent veins. Appears to be a double cap. The foot looks good and has no damage. |
8 |
| Draw & Burn: Initial draw was smooth and unencumbered. Lit smoothly and readily. Both continue to impress. Continued dryness, actually becoming more so, wrapper cracked with normal handling. Continued wrapper destruction. Ash stays put for an extended period. |
6.5 |
| Flavor & Strength: First Impression for flavor was smooth / well balanced, but lighter than expected (possibly age related. Slight residual sweetness to the smoke possibly leather / coffee mix. Strength is light. |
6 |
| Final Impression: Decently built, light-bodied, lighter beginners smoke. This is definitely not for heavy maduro smokers but could be good in mixed company or similar settings. |

| Construction: Wrapper started blowing up 1/4 into the cigar. |
5 |
| Draw & Burn: Has a smooth draw & burns evenly. |
7 |
| Flavor & Strength: Starts mild and has a dry slightly bitter taste. No complexity of flavor. This lack of complexity stays constant and the cigar finishes as boring as it started. |
4.8 |
| Final Impression: Ok cigar for a beginner or for give aways at the golf course. While my own palate is mild to medium, this cigar held little interest and would not find its way into my humidor. |
