    Nice review. That's one fancy looking cigar. I'm all about the label art.
    So, it holds the same basic profile throughout, with additional 'notes' along the way?
    What's that fancy striping on the wrapper? mmm... stripes...

    It was pretty straightforward, with little nuances, yes.

    The pinstripe is made with two whole wrappers (according to the description on CI) It's a Connecticut broadleaf maduro, wrapped a little offset with regular connecticut leaf.

    I bet a cigar pixie could show us how to do it.

    So, it is a complete wrapper, rather than an after-roll pinstripe job. Nice.

    I saw a few really interesting cigars recently with very intricate flourishes and striped designs. I wonder how much that really adds to the flavor. Perhaps only the cigar pixie knows for certain.

    Great review, Will. I agree that the America is definitely a good smoke to pick up. I had one when they first came out and have had another aging for about 2 years now. I should probably get to that one soon.
