This is a pretty nice stick. Very well constructed, perfect draw and good, even burn. Pre-light aroma is strong with earthiness and cedar tones. Not much pre-light flavor. After toasting and warming, immediately got a blast of flavor of what the aroma held. Also slight sweetness and nuttiness. Burn never wavered and no need for a lighter at all. The stick was slightly harsh throughout with a slight irritation in get back of the throat. Taken care of with a nice small batch bourbon accompaniment that complemented the many complex flavors. Earth, grass, leather, cedar, nuttiness, light sweetness all flowed at various times. No off flavors at all. Strength started as mild and ramped up quite a bit as the burn progressed. This stick was in the humi for over 6 months.
Overall, was in the realm of 8.5 out of 10. Will buy more of these.
