bit dry but it still smoked okay.
Strong tobacco flavour with
some toasted nuts after taste.
Acc eptable smoke but not my
first choice.”

Comments: “The cap was a
distinctly different colour to the
main wrapper, which was very
odd. It was a very creamy start
and a good opening taste; not
like some cigars that take half
an inch to develop any flavour.
However into the second third
and it hadn’t developed any
further - just a creamy, but nice,
simple taste. The final third was
the same, no development in
body, which led to an overall
disappointing cigar.”

Personal View: “Good cigar”
Comments: “I think this was
probably a not particularly good
stick from a nice cigar if that
makes sense, size and flavour
were good but it was let down by
construction.”
