As with many others, this was my mystery cigar in my July order. I've never tried a Charatan before so as always, I was pleased to be trying something new. First off, cutting it caused the wrapper to come adrift. I was using a cheap cutter rather than my usual Cigarism double blade, which may have been a factor but having seen the other reviews, I do wonder. The taste was actually very pleasant, and I really enjoyed this aspect of the cigar. However, the aforementioned wrapper issue was joined by a very uneven burn throughout, and then in the final third it pretty much fell apart - see photos. I'm torn between a two and three, as the taste was genuinely excellent, but cigars that fall apart aren't much use to anyone. Sorry Charatan, it has to be a two.
