"This was a good cigar, but that's about all I can say about it. It was solid, start to finish, with just enough going on to keep me interested but not amazed. In the end I'd say that it's just as forgettable as it is nub-able. That said, I'd still have another!" -Isaac M. (The Nothing)

·"This cigar settled in quickly after the initial spice bomb. The robust coffee and pepper mellowed as the leather came into play making the transition through the thirds very enjoyable. A brief showing of allspice and tobacco added a sweet element that complimented the earthy notes." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

·"The first two third ebbed and flowed with that savory meat and cappuccino creaminess and finally a dry cedar but I think the last third really takes a bunch away from the overall smoking experience. I feel like this cigar was made to experience with great friend and even better conversations. Making it a good everyday smoke." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

"I really enjoyed this cigar. I enjoy a cigar that has sweetness but not actually dipped in sugar. The addition of the nut was nice with the overall sweet. When I spoke of the bitterness it was not an unpleasant flavor. It kept the cigar from being one note. Construction was good. I had a slight blemish on the wrapper but that did not effect anything. Draw was close to perfect for me. " -Matt (Mattehh)
