| TASTING NOTES: The beginning immediately gives you a nice spice on the tongue and throat to wake up your taste-buds. While the intro is full-bodied, it mellows down a bit near the half-way point. |
| OTHER NOTES: Enough cannot be said about the look, construction and scent of this cigar. This cigar would be a great companion at a barbecue. |
| EVALUATION: A wonderfully blended cigar. The beginning starts with a spicy wake up for your senses as the dark and oily wrapper suggests but morphs into a creamy smooth goodness about half-way through. For me this is one for special occasions due to the price point but one I will keep on my list of classic cigars. Nearly all of the on-line retailers have this cigar on back-order. I suggest hitting your local tobacconist. |
