"This was a good cigar, with lots of heavy cream notes, but there weren't any other flavors to keep my attention, It burned, and smoked great. Might be a good cigar in the morning with a cup of java." -Mickey T. (irratebass)

·“This cigar, based on looks alone, was one that I was anticipating. The best part is that it didn’t disappoint. Fuller flavored. Fuller bodied. Just what I was expecting. The flavor of this cigar was spot on, for me, to the point that I was easily able to forgive the burn problems. I found that this cigar lighted to be smoked, and not set down to rest, which was fine because I didn’t want to put it down.” –Isaac M. (The Nothing)
"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.)

·"This cigar was, well, outstanding to me. This is something I could enjoy at any time and could even be something that I'd smoke very regularly. The flavors caught my attention at the beginning and the constant evolution kept me coming back for more. It was a surprisingly long smoking cigar with made it that much better." -Isaac M.

·“One word: Excellent. From its appearance, its aroma, its feel, the amount of smoke it produced, to its flavor profile…my palate went on a fun rollercoaster ride. I thoroughly enjoyed this blend. Whoever blended this cigar deserves a raise.” –Jeff R. (JR)

·“I’ll start off by stating that I am not a fan of mild cigars…They generally just don’t keep my attention. This was an exception. The occasional flavor transitions, plus the excellent initial flavors were interesting and worthy of my time. This is something that I would highly recommend to any new smoker, of someone looking for a change of pace. Also, a perfect way to start a day. The reveal of this one will be interesting…. This cigar is one where the totality of the experience is greater than each of it’s parts…well done.” –Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

·"This was just a beautiful cigar to look at and even hold in my hand. Looks alone this cigar would be killer. Unfortunately I had some draw issues on this one. Normally I would have taken the draw poker to it but since it was a review I wanted to smoke it as is. I did enjoy the flavors I got throughout they were just very muted and in the end became bitter. I would love to try this cigar again and hope for better construction." -Zane G. (Zane)

·"This was one fantastic cigar! It smells like baked bread and a syrupy sweetness before even lighting it. Then when you light it you continue to get that sweetness along with some nuts, and oatmeal. This cigar would pair well with morning coffee, and I feel that this could be your 1st or even last smoke of the day. I want more!!!" -Mickey T. (irratebass)

·"Dinner was done and the air was finally starting to cool when I went out to give this cigar a try. I was blown away initially by the huge flavors this cigar produced and I couldn't have been luckier to have waited until early evening to smoke the cigar. It is quite intense, and I'm sure a lot of people would call it harsh. I couldn't imagine smoking this earlier in the day." -Isaac M. (The Nothing)
