My first two experiences smoking this stick were at both ends of the spectrum. The first smoke we great until the last 1/2 to 1/3 where it really ramped up into a peppery explosion.

The second smoke a couple weeks had mellowed a tad and over all was a great smoke.

So here we are with my third time smoking this cigar and my first attempt at a review.

Ingredients
Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper with Brazilian, Nicaraguan and DR long filler.

Smoke
Nice thick, billowing plumes of white hearty smoke which filled the air with lovely smells of sweet cedar.

Ash
Made it to 2 inches before I knocked it off. Not too flakey, just a nice compact ash.

Taste & Smell
The pre lit aroma smells great, and the first 1/3 of the cigar after lighting is soooo smooth and cream tasting.

The middle 1/3 is where the pepper kicks it up a notch and adds a very welcoming change to the taste of the cigar. While it does start to batter your tongue with pepper it manages to keep the same creamy taste that it started with.

The final 1/3 of the smoke stays with the smooth creamy pepper taste attacking your tongue and taste buds.

Burn
Overall a very steady and even burn, it didn't tunnel or burn too hot. My humidor RH was 65%.

Construction
After a simple snip of the head with my cutter the wrapper stayed put and seemed very well constructed. A very smooth and defect free wrapper.

Cost
Shouldn't cost more than $4/stick including shipping.
