Initial impression was a smooth draw and a slight peppery taste. The cigar was well built with a very nice oily wrapper. As I smoked, the ash just hung on for about 1-1/2" before I tapped it into the Stinky. The smoke started to mellow out, and went perfectly with my Macllallans 12 year old single malt. The taste stayed relatively mellow and smooth creamy smoke, through the first 2/3rds of the stick.
The last 1/3rd started to produce a very mild peppery taste again which seemed to build as the burn progressed.
I really enjoyed this cigar; I didn't know anything about it's rating or it's components, but I would definately buy more - but probably in the robusto size, which is more to my taste.
Thanks, Sam for the opportunity to try this cigar and to try my hand at writing a review - such as it is!

Nice job, I would have handed out all robustos but I wanted to see what we came up with from the 3 different sizes they had available. General concensus was that it is a godd cigar and you can't beat the price point.
Smoke 'em if ya' got 'em!
