"This cigar is meant to be smoked. Allowing it to sit for long causes the flavors to dissipate. Keep it hot and it will deliver. And that is where the problem comes. You have to keep on this cigar to keep the flavors rolling. I think if I had kept on this cigar, puffing at much faster than my normal rate, not only would I have found more enjoyable flavors, it would have also significantly shortened its already fast smoking time. While I quite enjoyed the first third, the rest of this cigar just couldn't satisfy. " -Isaac M. (The Nothing)

·"This a wonderful cigar with just the right amount of strength. I was enticed by traditional Maduro and an overall earthiness. This is box worthy to say the least and it will not be the last time I smoke this slow burning beauty." -Jack (Jack_H)
"A very solid medium body cigar from the first puff till I finished the review. The first and second thirds were very enjoyable, but towards the end it started to go flat and bring some bitterness. With the dryer smoke at the end I feel that it amplified the bitterness for me. " -Quinn (quinnpins269)
"This cigar was beautiful and smelled amazing. The opening flavors, likewise, were wonderful and completely piqued my interest. Then, unfortunately, things changed and it became a struggle to finish the cigar as the flavors became rough and the performance absolutely fell off. Based on the beginning I absolutely want to try another. Based on the finish, however, I’ll have to convince myself it’s worth it to give it another try." -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

·"Overall I would say that it is an ordinary cigar that is a pleasant and easy smoke with no real wow factor. I personally like the nubs so I was slightly disappointed in this. I will try this again but may not go looking for one." -Sandeep (Djangos)

·“I liked this cigar a lot in the first two thirds, the last one faltered. The first thirds were fairly complex and balanced, but that all went downhill in the final third. I would definitely try it again to see if my sample was the exception, or maybe after some aging. I would buy a 5-pack to hang on to.” -Emmett (rhetorik)
"This was a decent cigar that lasted a little over an hour. Would I recommend it to my buddies? Definitely. I don’t think I’d spend my last dime on one but it was well worth the time spent smoking it. I would keep a few of these in the humi. Who knows? Maybe with a bit more age on them, they could turn out to be excellent cigars." -Milton (mjohnsoniii)

"The flavors were awesome from the time I lit it but with the distractions of the uneven (canoeing) burn and the open draw, I couldn't enjoy it as well as I'd hoped. I'd definitely like to try more in order to get a good feel of what these really have to offer. What is it? Inquiring minds wanna know..." -Milton (mjohnsoniii)
"I like almost everything about this cigar. It was different in all three phases, but the same notes were present in each part. They could each stand alone, but when smoked together, it was a great progression. I will smoke this cigar again, I just need to find out what it is first!" -Jack (Jack_H)
