Received this as my Mystery Premium Cigar offer. My first impressions were that this was a very well constructed cigar and, after cutting, the cold draw was very good, neither too firm or too loose. It takes the flame very well and, after a slightly uneven start, the burn line quickly evens out. Initial flavours are predominantly of leather with a slight nuttiness drifting in and out and cedar in the background. This is certainly on the stronger side of medium to full in flavour and strength, so may not be suited to less seasoned smokers although, having said that, my first ever Cuban was a Bolivar - so what do I know! I didn't really notice much in the way of transition in the flavours as the smoke progressed, they just got a little stronger in the final third. Although this wasn't really to my taste or palate ( I would much rather have a Monte ), I honestly can't fault the way that this cigar performed. The draw and burn were high on perfect and it lasted almost an hour. Plus it only cost me twenty pounds so it has to be five stars from me.
