"This was a very good cigar. I really enjoyed the rye & sweetness components, I felt they gave the cigar that extra oomph it needed to stand up to just the coffee, and nut flavors. This would be a nice after dinner smoke." -Mickey T. (irratebass)

"This is a great example of what a mild cigar can provide. I enjoyed the transitions of flavors throughout the duration of the smoke, the perfect burn, excellent construction, and one of the better draws of cigars I have smoked. My only qualm is that it burned way too quickly... I guess I’ll have to get some more to enjoy!" -John A. (John A.)

"I just couldn't get passed the strong bitter taste I obtained through the first third. I was hoping it would transition away and something else would come alone. It really was a chore to smoke this cigar all the way through. If I had purchased this myself It would have been pitched." -Zane G. (Zane)

"I have always said how a cigar look does not translate to how it performs. I have smoked some elegant-looking cigars that just didn't deliver. This one was definitely not a beauty queen, but it was a very good cigar. It kind of started to head in the direction of bitter in the middle, but recovered admirably in the final third, making for a cigar that transitioned and developed very well from start to finish. It was also a relatively slow burner. With the burn and draw on point and the strength never getting overwhelming, this is a cigar I would have zero issues handing to a new smoker, nor would I hesitate to hand one to a seasoned aficionado. Looking forward to finding out what this one is! " -Kevin A. (Kevin A.)

·"This one was really different, and that is a good thing. No more of the same old flavor profile here. Some unique flavors mixed with a great burn and tons of smoke output, that makes this a cigar I want to try again. I will be glad to find out what this one is." -Matthew T. (A Huge Nerd)

"This is a hard cigar for me to rate. It performed well, was nice looking and I didn't find the flavors bad in any way. The problem was, that I just couldn't find much flavor at all. I wouldnt say it's a bad stick, maybe it just isn't a good stick for me. Hopefully others had a better experience." -Dave (mdwest)
"This is a cigar that I wouldn't mind trying again. It had a nice simple profile that wasn't overpowering and could be enjoyed anytime by anyone. Performance was great too as it required little to no attention to keep burning." -Will (Dubv23)

·"Oh my how I loved this cigar. While it did not offer up any transitions along its length, from the very start it did offer so many varying flavors that a change of profile would have ruined the experience. The aroma was also quite nice when the smoke hit the nostrils. I'm looking forward to smoking a lot more of these in the future." -Isaac M. (The Nothing)
