I went for a smoke this afternoon and decided to smoke one of these and as usual I was not disappointed. The cigar did not light as good as I like but after a few puffs I had it all evened out and ready to rock. Immediately notes of pepper surrounded my senses. But what I noticed most was the great (more like incredible) draw. The amount of smoke that this cigar throws off is incredible. I am thinking of using them as mosquito repellant next summer. Some of my friends don't like the medium body but I feel the flavour easily makes up of for the lack of power. Along with the pepper there are cedar and leather flavours that delight the senses. A very well balanced cigar. the cigar mellows half way through and did not let me down. total smoking time was around one and a half hours which is my ideal time for a smoke of this size. Hope you enjoy the review.
