"Overall not a cigar I enjoyed very much. It started out with some nice flavors, but most of them diminished throughout the cigar and eventually got replaced by bitterness. It was pretty boring most of the time and required attention to keep it going. Not something I would recommend." -Emmett (rhetorik)

·"The first third showed some real promise with the rich roasted coffee flavors. Sadly, nothing much materialized leaving the smoke very one dimensional. By the end of the cigar the only consistent flavor was tobacco." -Gregg (McGreggor57)
"I was really impressed to try this cigar, especially seeing how well it looked and was made. Flavors were pretty consistent the whole time, except for the middle third, which had the mustiness and had the problem keeping it going. I enjoyed the flavors, the smoke was good, again except for the middle, and the draw problem. Those things are what dropped it from 'great' to 'very good'." -Robert (NavyPiper)

·"I would love to smoke one of these again that didn't have the construction issues. The last third really was wonderful, but not enough to overcome the disappointment of the first and second third." -James (dscl)
I really dug the flavors I got right off the bat as well as the pepper that was there for the first inch or so. After everything mellowed out, it became a little less interesting. Slight transitions of creaminess went along with the wood. Not a bad cigar when wood was the dominant flavor, just not as desirable as the previous flavors.
Sounds odd, right? This is definitely something you should be aware of. I participate on multiple forums, and people share...

On April 24, 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released proposed regulations to extend the authority of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, to additional tobacco products. This can have a major impact on the cigar industry along with the other tobacco products that the FDA is targeting.

·"Lovers of milder to medium cigars are going to love this one. Even though not very complex in the first and middle thirds, it picks up and compensates in the final third. I usually enjoy a little more pepper and more spice so I was a little disappointed in that. More sweeter flavors would have been welcome, but then again this was not a maduro. Overall, a good cigar that I will definitely want to visit again." -Sandeep (Djangos)
