Hey all,
This is my first review so please bear with me.
this is a corona gorda size stick, it is a mixed filler cigar with 40% long and 60% short filler. I did notice that there were a couple soft spots but nothing too bad. The cigar cut easily with my Xikar Xi cutter and lit pretty quick with my ronson.
first third:
- very effortless draw (but not too loose) just right
- I taste what I can only describe as a "hay" type taste with hints of nuttiness
- not flavor packed but pleasant to smoke

second third
- at first not much change
- started to get a hint of pepper in the back of my throat
- wrapper developed a pretty bad crack :confused:
- started to burn a little hot, I really had to pay attention to how fast I was smoking
- razor straight burn line
final third
- pepper really picked up
- wrapper crack corrected itself when the burn passed it :D
Final thoughts
I really enjoyed this cigar, the pepper did get a little strong but that was right at the end. for the price of $104 for a box of 31 this is a very good smoke and something that I would buy again and recommend to others.
8.9/10
