This was a really good cigar, not overpowering, but lots of flavor. It changed quite a bit throughout the thirds, but was always balanced. Construction was superb with an even burn and tight but good draw, think Cuba. Glad I bought a box.
"Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this Cigar. The first third had me on the fence but as I smoked a cigar developed with a few transitions and complexities that were thoroughly enjoyable, especially the last half of the Cigar which was very smooth and flavorful. Thumbs up!" -John A. (John A.)
This year, we decided to give you a tour of the show through the pictures we took while we were there. Some are of new items, and some are just things we thought were interesting. These manufacturers were not sharing booth space, we just combined them into a single slideshow due to the number of pictures we had from each.

“This cigar started out really nice with lots of cream and mild to medium in strength , but as I got into the 2nd and final third the cream had disappeared and more wood/earth and spice notes became front and center. It would be a good first cigar of the day, but give warning to the spice and nicotine that catches up with you. Would definitely smoke again. ” –Mickey T. (irratebass)

"Overall, a cigar with mixed feelings. While the first third was the best, the second third a bit boring, and the last third making a small gain on enjoyment, overall it was decent, enjoyable, but could have been better. Also notable was how long this cigar lasted, 90 minutes for me, and I am a quick smoker typically. While this was a smoke you’ll definitely want to try, my impressions from this sole sample have left me needing to try another to verify my thoughts." -John A. (Bostoneo)
