Was planning to post this with pics and took one of the cigar. Well I am sure you alkl have seen how it looks.

The cigar looks good, wrapper in particular. Mine was partially square pressed not sure if that is normal.

Anyway the experience as a whole was nothing special. A few spicy notes every once in a while but otherwise just plain tobacco with a few harsh notes on some pulls.

Construction was somewhat faulty as I did have to correct the burn once and had to relight a bit past the half way mark.

In conclusion: Not my type of a cigar. The vintage 99 was much better. Still have the Ditka XX so that review to follow later on
