Light: Took a little effort, but seems to be going good.

1st 3rd: Oily, Spicy, coating my tongue. Sweet & bitter mix (maybe that’s the IPA)… Medium to full body. Medium flavor. Pretty smooth despite the strong-ish flavors. Floral type flavors going on also. Nice.

Ash: Medium gray. Nice stacking & bubbles on ash. Holds on for 1 ¾”

2nd 3rd: Floral. Oil, spice (pepper) Again, smooth despite the flavor barrage. Sweet tobacco and medium to full body. Pretty strong cigar nicotine wise.

3rd 3rd: Same profile. Kind of more mellow now strangely. Moving into a kind of creamy mix of flavors. Spice is dying down. Really, really mellows out in the last 3rd. Some leather notes kicking in now. Pretty nice unexpected ending.

Overall impression: Nice cigar. Reminds me a lot of the LFD double ligero. I’d put it like this: I’d look for a 5er of these while I look for a box of LFD DLs.

Thank you Rugbysh9 for the chance to try this one!

Nice review!

Great review.

Will, it looks like a good one to try. Roger.

Thanks for the review Will, I've got a couple of these waiting for me in the humi.:smiley20:

Interesting to see a review of this cigar considering I just bought my first one recently. I had never heard of it before but due to it's connection to Oliva I figured I'd give it a chance. Anyway it's sitting in my humi now and I'm thinking it will make the trip to Cancun with me next monday for a beach smoke. Great review as usual.
