" The Cigar was so delicious out the gate. However, the lack of complexity and linear flavor profile of the Cigar could easily bore most people. I thoroughly enjoyed the flavors the tobacco provided as it was very delicious and the construction, burn and especially the draw was a top notch. A good cigar if you don’t want to be thrilled but enjoy a nice moderately peppery sweet smoke. " -John A. (John A.)
"This cigar was just what I needed. With the coronavirus going on the cigar shops are closed, except for carry out and some are doing deliveries....which is a 1st I believe. Anyway this was the 1st day that was nice enough for me to spark up in my man cave *garage* and even though there wasn't many flavors on this cigar what I got was wood, some sweet tobacco and a bit of leather. The cigar still held up and didn't let me down......stay safe everyone this is the end of the world........if ya got em' smoke em'." -Mickey T. (irratebass)

Congressmen Send Letter to Vice President Pence on Regulation of Premium Cigars
On behalf of the premium cigar industry as well as main street retailers and American consumers, Congressman Bill Posey (R-Florida), Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-California) and Congressman Lou Barletta (R-Pennsylvania) sent a letter to Vice President Pence urging the new administration to swiftly suspend enforcement of the FDA’s recently enacted deeming rule. The rule, which went into effect on August 8, 2016 has imposed harsh new regulations on premium cigar retailers, manufacturers and thousands of small businesses across the country. Despite the original congressional intent, the FDA’s imposition of regulations on premium cigars penalizes an industry where youth access to smoking is a non-issue.

"Very good cigar. Started out with an incense/aromatic element that I couldn't quite put my finger on other than incense, but it didn't stay through the whole cigar.

Very nice smoking experience. " -Mickey T. (irratebass)
