"This was an interesting cigar for me. The flavor notes were very unusual but somehow so melded that it was a challenge to identify them separately at times. The balance of un-peaty bourbon notes with the sweetness of figs provided a very unique flavor. Mixing in wood and on occasion nuts, gave this cigar a very savory yet sweet flavor profile. Additionally, the medium strength allows this cigar to smoke any time of the day. I found it to be an ultra-relaxing cigar. Easy to smoke, perfect viola, and an interesting flavor profile. Definitely worth keeping some in the humidor." -Diana (ArmyRN)
"Great cigar from beginning to end. This cigar was full of flavor. Notes include tea, black pepper, popcorn, hickory, lavender, pork, and clove. I wanted the enjoyment to continue. Perfect draw, burn, and construction. Minor touch ups were needed, but didn't interfere with the pleasure. This cigar is one I'd share with my friends. I'll seek this out and add it to my humidor." -Sean F. (fullermaine)
"Something about this cigar blend was a superstar for me. I often found myself smoking too fast because I was enjoying the blend so much. Leather was the star backbone of the blend from the first puff until the last. There was some great complexity first, with cedar sweetness and a slight white pepper on the retro. Then, some hazelnut and subtle baking spice notes as the blend progressed. I would smoke this again and look forward to discovering what it was." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)
"The blend's flavor was perfect for my palate. It began with a deep musk, then transitioned into a delicious smoky honey glaze flavor before returning to a slightly edgier musk at the end. The cigar smoked great, with only minor burn issues in the second half, and I enjoyed it so much that I smoked it down to the nub. I'm excited to discover what this blend is so I can purchase some." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)
"Though this cigar started a little unbalanced, it definitely kept getting better as I got through it. With a moderate level of complexity, and smooth transitions, it held my interest pretty well. I’d smoke one again, and honestly think that a bit of rest might even out the first third a bit. I’ll be curious to see who produced this blend." -Chris M. (Chris)

·"Overall, it was good. The flavors were interesting, but made a good overall flavor. It was consistent flavor wise from beginning to end, with the only real change being in the final third, when it seemed to maybe increase in strength. I gotta admit I was ready to let it go at the end as it was getting to be a bit boring in the flavor dept. I probably wouldn't smoke one everyday, but a couple of times a week might be OK just due to my preference in flavors. I prefer peppery, spicy stogies, preferably Maduros, but your mileage may vary." -Robert (NavyPiper)
"This cigar was a very smooth and enjoyable smoke. Very easy to cut and go and not much worrying needed on performance. Definitely a great smoke for any beginner to dive right into and enjoy the smoking experience. Again, nothing too overly exciting, just a well built and tasty cigar." -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)
"This was a great cigar with a flavor profile that was excellent and kept me engaged throughout the smoking experience. I could easily see myself picking up a fiver of these and recommending this to others." -Alan (Eulogy)
"The flavor was slightly light and one note, but it was a nice sweet floral and cedar flavor. The cigar had a good creaminess until the final third, which transitioned into a heavy, bitter bite. The cigar smoked fast and seemed light, so I'm unsure if it was underfilled or mix-filled. I would smoke it again at the right price, but it is not the most complex stick." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)
"For as much as I liked about this cigar, unfortunately there was just as much as that I did not. Let's start with the positive. All in all, the smoking experience was trouble free. Not only did this stick burn great, but the draw was near perfect and the smoke was silky smooth from beginning to end. The first third is truly where this smoke shined! Its flavors were immensely enjoyable and most importantly, well balanced... a delicious tango of spicy and sweet! Beyond the first third is where everything took a turn for me. Although the final two thirds of the cigar was not all bad, the obtrusive bitterness that took center stage for much of the second third was simply overpowering and quite literally left a bad taste in my mouth. I like transitions as much as the next guy but what I experienced during the final third was simply absurd. Every single puff brought about something new and the lack of consistency just left my palate confused. While a lot of the flavors were intense and pleasant, they just simply weren't enough to eclipse the ones that were not. Being all over the map, I'm not so sure that even the right pairing would bring out the best in this cigar." -Noah S. (Noah)
