Overall, this is a fantastic cigar. All of the transitions from each third made the cigar quite interesting and enjoyable. The size of the cigar makes the time to smoke the cigar quite nice for when you’re short on time. The strength and flavor of the cigar are all right between medium and full. I would recommend this cigar to friends and family, and it is definitely one that will be in my rotation.

"Overall I was a huge fan of this blend. The strong pepper in the retro along with great leather, chocolate, mocha, and baking spices lead this blend right onto my preferred palate. The only downside was the starting and ending inches had a hot and harsh flavor.I will absolutely revisit this blend in the future." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)

"This was an enjoyable cigar from start to finish. Nothing stood out in the flavor profile, but it was all solid. This would be a great day starter, as it could easily be smoked on an empty stomach. I will be adding these to my usual rotation for sure! " -Kevin A. (Kevin A.)

·As an overall experience, my expectations were high based upon the initial inspection. Fortunately, all aspects of the cigar lived up to the hype and gave me a highly pleasurable 70 minutes of smoking time. Excellent flavors, coupled with superior performance, lead to a cigar that I highly recommend for everyone to try. Personally, I feel it is box worthy…Jason H.

"This was an interesting cigar that featured highly enjoyable flavors, nice transitions, and the finish was the star of the show… until that harshness crept in towards the end. That harsh, somewhat bitter aspect led me to slam the brakes on the smoking experience sooner than I would have liked and it’s disappointing because I was curious as to what the final act would be. Sadly, I’ll never know BUT the first two thirds were indeed very good and based on that alone I would be more than willing to give this particular cigar a second chance." -Matt Cade (CadeTNCC

"Overall this is a very enjoyable morning cigar. Just enough complexity and spice to wake you up for your day, but a nice cool floral and woodsy flavor that would pair well with a morning coffee. Though the visual look of the cigar leaves much to be desired, the flavor is very solid and worth revisiting. You also could not ask for much more from the construction or burn. " -Lauren S.
