"The creamy sweet milk chocolate notes that slowly evolved into a more bitter dark chocolate by the end along with the classic leather and earth background notes made a very old-school quality Maduro. There was some great complexity and interest with the nuttiness, molasses, baking spices, and hint of cinnamon that upped this blend to another level. I'd be interested to try this in a larger size to see if more time allowed for even more transitions." -Lauren S.
"I quite enjoyed this cigar. There's a fair amount of complexity and strength to this medium bodied woody cigar. I'd pick up a box or a five pack (depending on price)." -Jonathan (Toasted Foot)

·“It was full enough to keep me puffing, but mild enough for an adventurous noob to stretch their horizons. I’ve seen one other cigar that looked like this, so maybe I can guess what it is, but I can assure you that I’ll have more of these when the reveal happens!” –Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)
"I smoked this nice medium body in the morning and I think it hit the mark. I felt it was a very well balanced cigar that offered an nice profile. The baking spices and creamy smoke were very pleasant. Pair this with a coffee and you've got a complete breakfast." -Quinn (quinnpins269)
"This was a very good cigar, especially for being relatively mild. I really enjoyed the flavor shifts and the performance was simply stellar. This is something that looked impressive in the beginning and kept me interested until the final puff. I’m a happy reviewer! Happy to recommend it and happy to have been able to enjoy! I’ll be back for more…" -Jason H. (Jokey Smur
"Great cigar! Taste was excellent with an amazing burn. Hard to find anything wrong. The chocolate and earthiness was great. Just the right amount of bitterness to the chocolate flavors so it did not overpower the other flavors. I really enjoyed the raisins and dated in the first and second third. I would have like them to finish off the cigar however I can not complain how it finished with the rustic flavor." -Jake P. (Jake P.)

·"Overall this smoke was unlike anything I smoked before. It had a unique shape and some unique and enjoyable flavors. It was more mild...teetering on the medium side but this allowed the flavors to shine through nicely. However the cigar never really shyed away from its core assortment of spices and sweetness which did tend to lose my interest after the second third." -Will (Dubv23)
