"This one of those sticks you can lose yourself in. Would definitely pair well with a nice coffee with a bit of cream. The flavor transitions were so smooth as you wonder through the fantastic flavor profiles this stick has to offer. Two thumbs up, must buy all of these sticks, a perfect match made in heaven for me. " -John A. (John A.)
"Overall, this was a decent medium bodied cigar. Not much action was going on with a myriad of flavors, however what it did offer was a smooth and luxurious flavor profile filled with leather, well balanced black pepper, and dark chocolate creaminess. Well balanced and silky smooth, this is an easy recommendation and addition to your humidor. " -John A. (Bostoneo)
