"The cigar was surprisingly great. Had a good complexity. Though the ring gauge was daunting initially, the flavor profile stayed on par and was very enjoyable." -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)

"I was thoroughly pleased to find that this was a great cigar, especially considering the cigars sheer size. The first two thirds were top-notch. Lots of very pleasing flavors, perfect draw and lots of smoke. The final third, though still great in smoke, burn and ash, was a bit lower on my scale. Still pleasant to smoke, just the added bitterness dropped it down for me. Not surprising though, since this was the end of a very large cigar. I would really like to see how this cigar compares in a smaller vitola." -Jerad (Cigar Federation)
With an intended launch of spring 2015, The Rake will be made at Erik Espinosa’s La Zona factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. The cigars will be presented in classic cabinet-style boxes of 20 and available in 4 different vitolas, Fix (5-5/8x46), Cut (5x52), Take (6x52), and Vig (6x60). Two of the sizes will be slightly box pressed, Cut and Fix.

·"This smoke was right in my flavor wheelhouse. I enjoyed the mild and creamy start more than the darker finish, and the mid point was a perfect balance of the two. The cigar evolved enough to keep me interested, though never straying too far from its core flavor base. There was also a satisfying amount of flavorful smoke on each puff, not requiring double puffs, which was very much appreciated - would not hesitate to smoke another." -Jordan (Cigar Dojo)

·"Overall, this was a nice, quick smoke that would be great for those occasions where time is limited, but you would really like a cigar. Plenty of power, packed with a good amount of flavor, and well made, I would definitely be interested in buying a few more of these to keep in the humidor." -Dave (mdwest)

"I quite enjoyed this cigar. There's a fair amount of complexity and strength to this medium bodied woody cigar. I'd pick up a box or a five pack (depending on price)." -Jonathan (Toasted Foot)
