"Overall, this wasn’t a bad cigar. I don’t generally waste my time with a cigar that won’t stay lit, but this tasted too good. The first thing I noticed was the flavor of black tea. As I continued to smoke there were earthy tones that compliment the tea flavor quite well. About halfway through, a hint of spice was introduced to the palate, adding a layer of complexity. As the cigar rounded out, there was a nice balance of black tea, spice, and some mildly sweet earth notes. " -Jai P. (Jai)
"Overall, this cigar was a solid performer. A wonderful medium-bodied profile of mainly leather, tobacco, cedar, and earthy black pepper paired with a slightly loose draw made for an awesome smoking experience. Towards the end, things got a bit bitter and syrupy, a sign that you must smoke this cigar at a slower pace. I wouldn't hesitate to smoke this one again." -John A. (Bostoneo)

"I enjoyed this cigar overall. It was a beautifully rolled cigar with no blemishes and a solid flavor throughout. The nicotine level became a little overwhelming for me towards the end but would be fine if I was in the mood for a strong stick. I wish that there was a little more variance in flavors throughout the cigar, but it was a pretty brisk smoke for its size." -Alan (Eulogy)
"This was a cigar that was elegant to start and had some real flavor changes while maintaining a very unique and complex flavor. I enjoyed this thoroughly and it was a cigar that you could smoke in any circumstance, morning, noon or night." -Jack (Jack_H)
"This was a great cigar, one of the best I've reviewed in a while. I'm genuinely excited to find out what it was so I can buy some. The construction, burn, draw were perfect. The flavors were classic but really defined and offered enough transition to keep me interested. Not too strong, not too weak, I would recommend this to anyone. Great cigar." -Emmett (rhetorik)
