·"I enjoy cigars that tell a story. The transition through the thirds were noticeable while staying true to the overall profile. There was enough fullness of flavors and strength in the beginning to caution newer smokers. On an afternoon signaling Fall is just around the corner, this cigar hit the spot." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

"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.)
