Very underwhelming cigar. The flavour was a bit one dimensional, although pleasant. It did get better in the second half of the cigar but then a crack appeared under the band. Not a split in the wrapper, it looked like it had ripped at the seams. Couldn't draw any more smoke through so that was that. It could have just been a bad cigar, but I won't buy another to find out.

A lovely little cigar ideal for an afternoon smoke. Extremely balanced and pleasant, very well constructed. An ideal cigar to give to guests, especially those who prefer the milder end of cigars. For me it is a little weak for an evening smoke, however I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys cigars.

Overall - pretty underwhelming. It lasted about 30 minutes, but the first two thirds were basically flavourless - just warm smoke.
There was a slight bit of taste in the final third, but it felt like it showed up too late and didn’t really deliver anything worth shouting about.
That said, the construction was spot on.
Burnt well all the way through, no touch ups needed, and stayed lit when I put it down whilst pottering in the garden.
It gave off a decent bit of smoke too, which at least made it feel like you were smoking something. The aroma was pleasant.
I was outdoors on a sunny spring day, doing a bit of gardening, which is usually a nice setting for a smoke. But even then, it didn’t do much for me.
Just a bit forgettable overall.

A bit bland, paired it with a coffee for a late night smoke at the fire pit. No real flavour came through. Nice burn, decent aroma and the second half was fine, but just fine. Given that I only smoke once a week, it left me disappointed. You get what you pay for. Mid table obscurity.
