I chose this as my weekly smoke. Glad that I did.

I'm not great about picking out specific flavors, so it's a sophomoric review at best. I enjoyed it going on a walk with my wife last night.

I would say I let it rest for about a couple of weeks since Chris mailed them to me.

For the first half of the cigar, everything was great. Nice amount of smoke. Not a ton of flavor. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, but just not anything noticeable or spectacular.

The second half of the cigar was a whole different story. What went from a relatively evenly burning cigar turned to where it wouldn't burn on one side. No matter how I held it, how long I'd let it rest, or even relighting it, on one side, it wouldn't stay lit. But the remarkable thing was the flavor. My wife has been a bit under the weather, and commented how great the cigar smelled. The flavors were amazing. Not really spicy, just a great tobacco flavor. I just couldn't keep the damn thing going right.

I ended up nubbing it. The cigar lasted probably an hour.

I'd like to thank DG, as well as the rest of the community, and the kind folks at Pinar, who made it possible for me to enjoy this smoke.
