"The transitions between the thirds and the addition of compatible flavors were very nice. While the profile might not fit everyone's palate, it was one I was looking for during this session." -Gregg (McGreggor57)
"Overall this was a pleasant cigar to smoke. I couldn't find anything flavor wise to make it outstanding but the construction, draw and burn have all been pretty much flawless. After it mellowed out from the beginning I am still getting some nice spice on the retrohale but overall it has been pretty mellow and nothing fantastic about the flavor. It did dry my mouth out a ton at the beginning, but due to its great construction and burn I was able to smoke it down to the nub. Depending on its price point I would have to think about getting more of these. It was a good smoke but nothing spectacular for me." -Wes (SosaCub4Life)
"I enjoyed this cigar. Though there were only a few flavors to taste, they were good ones. The evolution of the chocolate flavors were very appealing and I'm happy that it maintained that course instead of having too many things going on. A definite cold day smoke for me to enjoy with hot chocolate or a smooth coffee." -Paul (pmr1010)
"Overall, this was a great cigar. It had a perfect mix of flavors throughout. Lots of great spice all the way through. Had a nice creamy flavor with some sweetness that perfectly balanced out the great spice. I would smoke this again in a heartbeat." -Wes (SosaCub4Life)
"Assuming the price is right, this is one of those cigars that can meet your need in the rotation. Great winter smoke or just a quick one when time is short. I really liked the flavors although not a very complex cigar. If the flavor profile sounds like your type of cigar, I would have no problem recommending picking some up." -Jason (bigslowrock)
"Despite the burn, which was the only downside to this stogie, I really liked it. Loved the spice and pepper, those will always make me happy. But those two flavors there pretty much killed any other flavor from the second third on. Would I have another, heck ya!" -Robert (NavyPiper)
"I enjoyed this cigar a lot. It's one of the few cigars that I've smoked lately that I smoked down to a point that I almost burned my fingers. At no point was I disappointed or wishing I was smoking something else. A really good cigar!" -Paul (pmr1010)
"Overall, the cigar started off pretty good for me. After it lost most of the spice, which was early on, it seemed to stay the same during the last two thirds. It became pretty mild overall, but was a nice creamy smoke with some sweetness. It was just OK for me, nothing spectacular." -Wes (SosaCub4Life)
"Enjoyable. As I've been smoking over these past few years, I've slowly begun to lose a taste for heavy maduros, but I like this one, in part because it's not too heavy. It's not particularly complex, but it features everything a maduro ought to. It's like if AJ Fernandez quit blending budget sticks and moved on to the good stuff. Highly recommended for fans of his work who want to try something just a little bit better." -Derek (StogieNinja)
