"This was a great overall experience, I would recommend at least a fiver of these to anybody, and a box for myself. The transitions of flavor were some of the best I've seen and the flavors were always balanced and never overpowering. Great cigar." -Emmett (rhetorik)
"I loved it. I should probably say more I guess. I didn't have to fight with this cigar, and it gave me some flavors that were pleasant, unique, and very compatible. It also kept me interested when the profile would transition and show me something new. Combine that with a smooth retrohale and a great burn and I am happy." -Matthew T. (A Huge Nerd)
“Overall this was a very good cigar for me. I really liked the peppery spice at the start and then the transition into a more balanced smoke. It kept the spice throughout which was nice. Construction wise this cigar can’t be beat.” –Wes (SosaCub4Life)
"I have to say that this cigar was not my cup of tea. With that being said, the burn and construction made it a winner. If you are a fan of a wood-centric profile with light to no strength, this might be the cigar for you. It can easily be the first cigar of the day with a cup of coffee. I may not reach for it, but many would. Enjoy" -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

"I knew from the look and smell of this cigar I was in for a treat and it didn't disappoint. Premium cigars should just preform this well in terms of construction, smoke output, and flavor. I think if there was just a bit more dynamic flavor profile changes it would have put it over the top. Still there's so much here to like I have to recommend picking up a fiver and just enjoying a terrific cigar. " -Alan (Eulogy)
