"The flavors never changed from beginning to end but it was a pretty unique experience in terms of flavor. There's only a few cigars that remind me of that sort of fermented grain flavor of beer and that's what I tasted from start to finish. The smoke output and construction were spot on and it's hard to find fault with anything. If you the taste of beer this might be something to try." -Alan (Eulogy)

"This is exactly what I'd look for as a morning cigar or first cigar of the day. I typically smoke stronger cigars from the beginning of the day to the end but this was a nice change of pace for me. I'm really starting to enjoy these more often. I'd give this cigar an overall rating of 89. Flavors were pleasant and not overwhelming or overpowering. Would I smoke this again? Yes. Easily worth buying a fiver. " -Kevin J. (maninblack77)
