Oh dear, this stick was really tough to get any smoke through despite a good reaming several times. I persevered and as a cigar was ok but it needed constant attention. I’d bought 2 of these so hoping the other does better.
It is an impressive cigar to hold in ones hand and provides over an hour of satisfying flavors. However, coming with the high pedigree of being 2011s best, this smoker was left a bit underwhelmed.

A lovely smoke it has to be said,this cigar looks and smells great before you even light it,the pre lit draw is woody with a slight bitterness and good mild tobacco flavours,upon first lighting the woody mild tobacco flavours are confirmed and also a slight black coffee flavour is present,it remains…
