"I was a little hesitant firing this up early in the day as I typically opt for smaller vitolas, particularly early, and fully expected this to be a big booming powerhouse. It turns out that this was a tremendous selection for a long lazy weekend morning. If I'd waited till later in the evening when I usually opt for something more potent, this may have been a little disappointing, but probably not too much of a let down. Overall this was not a wildly nuanced, or complex cigar, but it really was exceptional for what it did offer. As big ring smokes become more popular it seems like there is less consideration of the blend as manufacturers rush to get big sticks to the market. Definitely not the case here. Whoever put this together knows their craft, and I thank them for it." -John I. (John I.)
