·"I'm ready for the reveal on this one. I'm not normally a fan of "fat" sticks, but this would be perfect for hitting the links, sitting by the pool, etc. As soon as I know what it is, I'm likely going to go out and buy 5." -Dave (mdwest)

·"I was really surprised by the changes in flavor profile. The complexity in this cigar really caught me off guard as the dark DARK wrapper told my eyes one thing but my nose and tongue were telling a totally different story. I enjoyed this cigar from start to finish even if the burn was slightly uneven in the beginning. Not too long of a smoke too so you can certainly find the time to squeeze one in." -Paul (pmr1010)

"This could easily become my go to morning smoke with a cup of coffee. The mild beginning transitioned to some bolder flavors nicely. Each third developed a distinct profile and stayed true. The leather really balanced the char and pepper, with the dark roast coffee at the end being a pleasant surprise." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

"What started out as a promising but went south quickly. Relight after relight, touch up after touch caused for a near unsmokable experience. It is hard to judge a line of cigar by smoking one so I will revisit it another time to see if this was a one off experience or what this line will be." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

"Something sweet, something spicy, mama this was a tasty cigar. Abet nothing terribly complex, this was a cigar I’d keep on hand for days I feel like something to punch me in the face with flavor. Sweet hay like aroma with a red and black peppery finish had me drooling over this one." -John A. (Bostoneo)

"This is a highly intriguing smoke, the flavor profile is very diverse and exceedingly pleasant. While well balanced, the predominant notes of caramel, earth, cherries, and baking spice were most consistent, making this an excellent pairing for a dram of Buffalo Trace or Knob Creek." -Fred L.
