"Overall, a very good cigar. With such a long cigar as this (roughly 7 inches and 48 ring gauge), the cigar did what I expected; start off with a core set of delicious, well balanced flavors (black pepper, leather, cedar, sweet cream, burnt bread) and build on them as the cigar progressed. I do wish the last third gave either an increase in body and/or more flavors (like the burnt bread starting from the second third). If this was the case, the cigar would have been bumped up to an excellent cigar. I would smoke this again but will pass on purchasing any." -Jiunn (jliu)

·"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)
"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 was an interesting cigar with several flavor changes. In fact, it started almost opposite of how it finished, beginning with light flavors, and ending with a deep, dark earth/espresso bouquet. I noted just a bit of nicotine strength, but not too much, making it OK for the adventurous beginner. This is probably not a daily smoke for me, but not something I'd run away from." -Jason H.

·"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)

·"Overall, this was a real nice cigar. I really liked the balance of the natural tobacco and cocoa flavors as both had a nice synergy throughout the cigar. The medium to full strength and body of this cigar really worked well with this flavor profile. This is definitely a cigar I would smoke again - and it's certainly worthy of a box split." -Will (Cigar-Coop)

·"This was a fun cigar with interesting notes you won't find on your typical full-flavored stick. I'd recommend smoking this when you have some time to decipher the full range of flavors it offers - maybe not for the novice smoker. And while there were a few hiccups, I'd certainly smoke another, given the opportunity - maybe a longer acclimation period would help sort out its flaws." -Jordan (Cigar Dojo)
"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)

·"This is an exceptionally fine cigar. The complexity and balance of flavor was amazing. The transitions seemed to be constant, although many of them were small. I truly can't think of anything that would have made this cigar better." -Rob (Cigar Federation)
