I picked this one up last night. I really wanted to like this one because it looked so good with a dark wrapper with few if any veins/flaws. The prelight aroma was nice but not the greatest. With a quick snip of the cutter I found that the draw was near perfect. This was however where the good part of this cigar ended. I lit this one up and the first few puffs were almost intollerable with a very bad taste. My wife even commented on the smell of the cigar once the smoke wafted her way. I tried to get through it thinking that it might get better but I had to chuck this after an inch or so.

I was really dissappointed with this one mainly because after looking at it, feeling it in my hand and the pleasant pre-light aroma I held out high hopes for this to be a cheap and good everyday smoke.

Another dud . . . sorry D&S.

I think I will try the Zemis next. More to come here.
