"In the beginning I was quite impressed with this cigar and enjoyed it thoroughly. In fact, I had a hard time putting this cigar down for long. However, it didn't finish well. My hope is that this was a one off as I would definitely try it again if others had a different experience. I so enjoyed the first two thirds of the cigar so much, that I'm probably scoring this cigar a little high overall. " -Isaac M. (The Nothing)
"Its not often you find a cigar that looks good smells this good and performs just as good as it looks and smells. If this cigar isn't box worthy no cigar would be." -Ryan H. (Ryan H.)
"I am definitely a fan of this cigar. The flavors are wonderful, the construction was superb, and overall it was just damn good! It's cigars like this that remind me why I smoke them in the first place. This might have been just a little full bodied for some, but for me it was just right. I'm especially thankful that I chose to pair this with a stout beer...just wonderful!" -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

·"Really impressive cigar, the initial blast of flavor was exceptional. The sweetness toward the middle became a little bit monotonous, but the deep rich flavors throughout the final were excellent." -John I. (John I.)
Draw, burn, and construction were spot on and should be a mile marker what the quality of how a cigar should be rolled and constructed. The flavor profiles of chocolate, coffee, and leather appeared to be the dominate flavor profiles throughout the cigar which provided a nice relaxing experience. While I did not pair it with anything, a mocha latte or hot chocolate would pair wonderfully with this cigar as they would compliment each other immensely. Complexity was not in full force, however the profile was enjoyable enough to keep me happy throughout the duration of the session. Definitely something you should pick up if ever given the chance to attend a Foundation event!
"This is a cigar I would definitely have again. It might even be a box worthy cigar for me. Definitely powerful but the flavour is complex and progressive enough that the power sits in the background. The fluffy ash and quick smoking time can lead you to believe it is a light cigar but o’contrair! Great after lunch or dinner stick (make sure you have food in your belly). The next one I have will be with a dark roast coffee " -Diana (ArmyRN)
"Overall this wasnt a bad smoke. It was uninspiring for me though and really didnt do anything that would make me interested in smoking it again. If the draw were better it might be of some interest to others that like floral flavor profiles. " -Dave W. (mdwest)

·"Off the bat I enjoyed the sweetness and pepper flavors. The way they played off each other was enjoyable. I also enjoyed how the sweetness was like a glaze on my lips. While smoking the cigar, looking at the cigar, it was ok and was not wowed by how the cigar looked. I had to touch up the cigar and had to relight it twice throughout the smoke. As much as enjoyed the flavors in the first two thirds, the last third wrecked the experience for me. The way the cigar was constructed it burned my tongue and all the flavor were bitter. It left my mouth feeling like I smoked five cigars back to back." -Daniel S. (Daniel S.)
