|
| Construction: Very rough cap on head of cigar. Cigar is very firm to the touch. |

|
| Draw & Burn: Descent Pre-light draw, just enough resistance. Within the first 1/4" of burning -very nice while ash and thin burnline with a little to no blistering of wrapper. Very sweet, but rustic aroma, nutty aroma. Great even burn throughout the entire smoke. |
8.2
|
| Flavor & Strength: Very rich & spicy with the 1st puff, very full bodied flavor within the 1st couple of puffs. A very clean sweet finish. Very sweet flavor of leather & caramel. Peppery finish when blown thru the nose. Spicy but smooth smoke. Slight bitter acid finish. But overall good flavor. |
7.9
|
| Final Impression: Although the appearance was rustic & rough, the flavor & complexity made up for it. I considered this a very full-medium bodied smoke. A lot of leather & caramel flavors throughout. With exception to the last 2 inches, this was a very pleasurable cigar. |

|
| Draw & Burn: Smooth draw, unlit. Run created due to crack. Good draw when lit. White, firm ash. Producing fantastic amount of smoke. Even with the crack in the wrapper, it maintains an even smoke. |
8.2
|
| Flavor & Strength: Good flavor toward the beginning of smoke. Mild to strong taste, with nice aftertaste. Good consistency in strength and taste. |
8.5
|
| Final Impression: This cigar was weak in appearance and construction, however it made up for it in taste, as well as burn and draw. This is a cigar that I would purchase. In the end, it turned out to be a good smoke. |

| Appearance: A velvet like feel to a milk chocolate looking wrapper. A very good smell to the cigar but the wrapper did have some rough veins but still felt good in my hand. |

|
|
| Construction: "Tight cap" made the cut "very clean", firm feel slightly soft looks like it was rolled extremely well. During the smoke if you like to chew on the end then you would not be disappointed. |

|
| Draw & Burn: Lit with a torch lighter. Draw is hard at first but the cigar is keeping an even burn. Very nice ash, soft grey in color also very firm about one inch still on the cigar. Now the draw is smooth about one inch in. Left the cigar to sit for five "five min" and it did not go out. |
8.5
|
| Flavor & Strength: Flavor started out spicy and a little hot. About a inch into the cigar it mellows out. Strength is "medium" but I think if you like mild cigars this might also be for you. More than half way through and the flavor is creamy with a dark chocolate & coffee taste. |
8
|
| Final Impression: The cigar never went out, burned even till the very end. Left a spicy note on the palate. The end never broke down or fell apart in my mouth. Great ash lots of thick smoke. I was drinking water but I think this would be very good with coffee in the morning. |

| Construction: Feels quite firm in the hand. Nicely wrapped. The fill seems even. |

|
| Draw & Burn: Nice amount of smoke at the beginning. Pretty even burn with a solid ash. Draws easily. Even though it was burning well, the quantity of smoke varied throughout the cigar. As the burn progressed. One side began to canoe. Had to re-light to even out the burn several times. |
7
|
| Flavor & Strength: The taste starts off quite light but slowly progresses in strength. The flavor I pick up is earthy, but not much else. I would consider this a medium smoke. The flavor was OK. |
7.4
|
| Final Impression: Mine had an uneven burn throughout. Flavor was good but nothing that Wow's me. Would try again to see if it improves. Anxious to find out the price. Last third burned fairly hot. |
