Light: Easy. Light to medium draw.

3rd 3rd: Mostly the same, but towards the end 1 ½” it got plugged. (strangely, the same thing happened to Dan who was having one too). After that, it was just burny & harsh.

Overall impression: Would be a good (and long) coffee / morning cigar. However for retail of $18, it wouldn’t be my first choice. Nevertheless, thank you Irish79 for allowing me the opportunity to try this one!

Nice review Will. Bummer that we both experienced a plug, but at least both sticks were consistent, right? lol

Nice review, Will, as always.

I have had a few DC's in the past, and while I haven't experienced a plug, the rest of the smoking experience was similar: well constructed, burned well, but IMO, a one-dimensional smoke.

Now, the DC Maximus on the other hand, is a complete different story.

Thanks again.

Good to know... I think I'll skip these.
