"This was an interesting cigar for me. The flavor notes were very unusual but somehow so melded that it was a challenge to identify them separately at times. The balance of un-peaty bourbon notes with the sweetness of figs provided a very unique flavor. Mixing in wood and on occasion nuts, gave this cigar a very savory yet sweet flavor profile. Additionally, the medium strength allows this cigar to smoke any time of the day. I found it to be an ultra-relaxing cigar. Easy to smoke, perfect viola, and an interesting flavor profile. Definitely worth keeping some in the humidor." -Diana (ArmyRN)

"Until that last third I would have said that this was a fairly linear cigar with minimal transition. The last third saved it a little bit but I’m not sure most people would have stuck around for it. I would have been one of them. If you are a fan of a light, liner cigar this will be for you. I’ll be interested to see what this cigar is so I can give it another shot." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

"This was a very good cigar, especially for being relatively mild. I really enjoyed the flavor shifts and the performance was simply stellar. This is something that looked impressive in the beginning and kept me interested until the final puff. I’m a happy reviewer! Happy to recommend it and happy to have been able to enjoy! I’ll be back for more…" -Jason H. (Jokey Smur
