"This was a solid cigar. It transitioned nicely from the first to second third with a more subtle change into the final third. The flavors were good, but there was no wow factor. I would, however, gladly smoke another one." -Gregg (McGreggor57)
"A very enjoyable cigar to smoke, with flavors right in my wheelhouse. I would definitely smoke more of them and easily recommend it to friends and strangers alike." -Ron (shuckins)
"This is a hard cigar for me to rate. It performed well, was nice looking and I didn't find the flavors bad in any way. The problem was, that I just couldn't find much flavor at all. I wouldnt say it's a bad stick, maybe it just isn't a good stick for me. Hopefully others had a better experience." -Dave (mdwest)
"I was thoroughly pleased to find that this was a great cigar, especially considering the cigars sheer size. The first two thirds were top-notch. Lots of very pleasing flavors, perfect draw and lots of smoke. The final third, though still great in smoke, burn and ash, was a bit lower on my scale. Still pleasant to smoke, just the added bitterness dropped it down for me. Not surprising though, since this was the end of a very large cigar. I would really like to see how this cigar compares in a smaller vitola." -Jerad (Cigar Federation)
"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)
