"So I must start off with this statement: I need to smoke this cigar again to get a true idea of what it is all about. That being said there are some high notes but that can not overcome the tight draw. This is the number one killer of any cigar for me. Disappointing..." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)
Crux Cigars is shipping their Limitada Gunner this week. This is their second line extension of the Limitada series, with the Redline being the first that shipped this year. Gunner was originally shown off at the IPCPR show in 2018.

"It is not easy to make a great figurado, at least one that pleases me. This cigar definitely was a hit for me. The construction and draw were spot on. The profile was complex and a great compilation of notes that I relish. You can't go wrong with the sweetness of chocolate-covered cherries and the spice of red pepper. Add in root beer and you've got a fan in me. " -Doug S. (Unpossible_1)

·"From the initial lighting, this was simply an outstanding cigar that I hated to see end. I would definitely buy a box or bundle of these as I'm sure they'll only get better over time. It reminded me of some ultra premium brands that surely deserves a place in every humidor out there. Can't wait to see which one this is." -Milton (mjohnsoniii)
"This is an extremely full-bodied cigar with core flavors of earth and wood. When the initial pepper spice was joined by some mineral early on things calmed down a bit, I only wish that the addition of coffee and orange zest that appeared in the final third had arrived earlier in the smoking experience as they added some complexity and balance to the cigar that I felt was needed. As far as pairings are concerned, I highly recommend a bourbon that has a natural touch of sweetness to it." -Matt Cade (CadeTNCC)
