Light: Easy, medium draw.

1st 3rd: Sweet tobacco. Oily, but not bitter. Smooth, and almost creamy. I put this at a mild to medium body smoke, with a medium flavor strength. Some nutty and woodsy notes. Pretty decent sofar.

Ash: Dense, stacked tight, light gray with a yellow twinge. Holds on for about 1 ½”

2nd 3rd: Musty, oily, sweet tobacco. Smooth, creamy, but still none of these flavors are pronounced enough. It lacks a punch or bite.

3rd 3rd: Same flavor profile. Good cigar. Woodsy, creamy, smooth and sweet. Oily that’s starting to stick to the palate now.

Overall impression: For the price point, it’s a good cigar. Not awesome, but I’d place above the yard gar category. This one has some age on it. When I received it, I think it had a year or so on it. That was about 1 ½ years ago.

Thanks Smoked! for the aged opportunity!

PS. My camera / pic system is being….difficult tonight. When I get it sorted out, I’ll edit the pics in. Or maybe, it will never work and this will be my first all text review.

Good review, Will. I wonder if the "none of these flavors are pronounced enough. It lacks a punch or bite" issue was due to the age. It would be interesting if you could compare notes on one smoked fresh from the same box.

True, true.

Well, there's one guy who could maybe tell us that.

I looked them up on CI to try and figure out the wrapper / binder / filler. They're still there, but you never know if CI has re-blended them or not.
