"This was a very good cigar, especially the first two thirds. If the last third hadn't gotten dry and a little bitter, it would have scored higher. The flavors were not in your face, but quite complex. I liked the transitions it offered and kept me entertained. I would definitely smoke more of these, and I would like to see if the final third was the same in all samples. Not my favorite Cuban, but a solid stick." -Emmett (rhetorik)

·"The cigar did have some nice flavors, but didn't have a lot of pop to it. It was gentle enough on the palate to make for a pleasant mid-morning smoke." -Ron (shuckins)

·"This was a very enjoyable smoke. While it wasn't the best burn or draw, the solid flavors made up for it. It wasn't extremely complex but the flavors were good enough to make it worth while. I would definitely smoke this again." -Emmett (rhetorik)

·"While this cigar didn't have the best construction, burn or draw, I did enjoy the flavors this cigar produced. However, most of this cigar was still one dimensional and it didn't give me a lot in the way of complexity. This is probably a cigar worth smoking again, but much would depend on the price point." -Will (Cigar-Coop)

·"Wouldn't seek out this one again, but a good cigar all-around. Decent flavors, good construction & unique size. Very "middle of the road" in nearly every aspect, but that's not a bad thing." -Matt (Cigar Memoir)
"The first two thirds of this cigar are some of the best and most complex you can find in a full body smoke. Burn, draw and construction are all top notch and the cigar is very well made. Unfortunately, the finish becomes unbalanced and slightly bitter in the final third. This can be a product of age and letting this cigar sit for a few months or so will rid the final third of this bitter note. I could buy 10 or so of this cigar and it will hit the mark when I am looking for a full body smoke. However, there are a few other full bodied cigars I would reach for over this one." -Dave (Cigar Jukebox)

·"Overall, this was a very good cigar. I enjoyed the earthy and creamy notes of roasted nuts, bread, cedar and black pepper quite a bit. These flavors intermingled very well together. There was a lack of complexity and changes, but being a 60 minute smoke or so, this doesn't bother me that much." -Jiunn (jliu)

"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)

·"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)
