"Until that last third I would have said that this was a fairly linear cigar with minimal transition. The last third saved it a little bit but I’m not sure most people would have stuck around for it. I would have been one of them. If you are a fan of a light, liner cigar this will be for you. I’ll be interested to see what this cigar is so I can give it another shot." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

"This is a cigar that is for sure "meaty". The flavor profile, while not overly strong, persey, is solid. Right at the top of the Med/Full range in strength and body. Smoking this made me want to prep a Tomahawk steak for the grill. This would be a good pairing with a steak dinner for sure, as well as a nice smoky Single Malt. It produces copious amounts of smoke that you can "chew"! It is a big, cigar, so make sure that you set aside a good 2 hours to smoke it. Definitely a cigar for more experienced smokers, and something I will definitely keep in my humidor" -Kevin A. (Kevin A.)
