So here is the review, it's my first and i still am a big newb but here goes. The when i cut the cigar, the cap somewhat exploded. The cap leaf came off fine but the tobacco inside kinda came off in shards. The cutter was brand new but may have just been dull. This made small pieces come off in my mouth while i was smoking it (annoys the crap out of me). I toasted the foot and found a pleasant cedar aroma, this cigar smelled great throughout. The first third of the cigar was rather disappointing. The was almost no flavor at all, just the taste of the tobacco actually touching my mouth. The ash was nice and light gray, but somewhat fragile (held for about 1 inch) The wrapper burned a little uneven but was easily corrected. After this i set it down for a minute to get a drink (2 min tops) and it went completely out, cold as if it was never lit. The second third was better. i re-lit the cigar and found it much more flavorful. It was a mild-medium smoke with a hint of sweetness. the flavor was just an earthy tobacco with no real spice to it. Again there was a minor burn issue that again was easily corrected. Again after the second third it went completely cold having sat for only a minute. I blew out the cold smoke and re-lit again (got a huge flare up that almost got my eyebrows). The last third was much like the second and i put it out at about 1 inch ( also something big went down on campus and prolly 20 cops went screaming around my block several times with two search copters overhead so i decided i would be better served indoors).

Overall i'd give it a B, it had great aroma, was fairly well constructed, but just wasn't very flavorful. I would buy it again to keep on stock to give out if someone needed something.

So that was my first review, hope it's useful and tell me how i did
