I was blown away by the perfection of this collection. The box itself got many compliments during my time in the lounge- rather classy perhaps. The cigars themselves appeared smooth, elegant and wrapped to perfection. Upon my first draw of one of the cigars, I was rather optimistic- I personally believed it was going to develop into a large pepperbomb. I was quickly proved wrong by these cigars through many.. clear and sharp notes. Theres a slight hint of spice however not too overpowering alongside a dark-oakey, wood and subtle hint of chocolate throughout the many draws. If done correctly, ashing is only necessary twice- in my session anyways. Half way through drawing, despite the increasing speed, the smoke remained at a relatively cool temperature- allowing ease in my draws. Approaching the end of the cigar, there was a subtle missing segment of flavor- rather bland in my opinion. This was however quickly fixed by a small glass of Emerald Isle- a perfect synthesis of flavours.
As long as you maintain a good pace however not too persistent; keeping it lit will not become an issue- however, this does mean managing temperature. This cigar, in my opinion, is not suitable for beginners. It is however a perfect match for experienced individuals within a lounge, looking for an elegant cigar on the side.
