Well today was the day. We had a dinner commemorating Henry O. Flipper, the first African American West Point Graduate, whose rank and awards were denied him until 100 years after. After the dinner I went to the smoking pit and had the cigar.

The tube is lined with what looks and smells like cedar. I took out the cigar and gave it a quick smell. It smelled great. I can't really describe the smell as far as "leathery mix of eath tones and a dash of corriander" type descriptions go, but it smelled good.

I cut it and lit it. Nice even burn.

The draw was smooth until it started toward the 3rd quarter. At that point it was tight in spots. I had to tug at it but the majority of the cigar was a really smooth draw. It tasted great as well.

Despite the slightly tight draw at times, I absolutely loved this cigar. I will definately be getting more of these (after I go through the 9 I have left).

Thanks. I'm glad my first review went over well.
