I sampled this with a pint of London Pride ale after watching England draw 1 - 1 with Russia in the European Championships. Thought I was in for another disappointment as on lighting the flavours were rather nondescript to say the least. However this was short lived as after the first quarter inch…
I must admit this was a little disappointing. It started out really well and had a mature, spicy taste but about halfway down became rather tight and difficult to draw. It also started to burn unevenly and I had to relight a couple of times. By no means unpleasant, but not as nice as I had hoped…
Decent 35-40 mins smoke. Consistent and most of the time even burn. However I found it too strong for my taste. Leathery and spicy, tasted a bit like dark chocolate paired with a tawny port.

Smoked a No. 5 to celebrate the arrival of my new humidor today. Frankly a bit of a disappointment. The flavours were fantastic, leathery spice with hints of chocolate to my taste. Unfortunately the construction was awful. Uneven burn, had to relight about 3 times and the third required a snip due…
Lovely half hour smoke, tight draw but so rich and nicely flavoured, I will get some more of these. Flavour consistent all way down, didn't detect any spice or pepper, just a really nice mid size cigar to go with a good coffee.
