I smoked one of these to ring in the new year, and i was very impressed. i don't know much about reviewing but i can say that this cigar was very strong. one of the strongest i have smoked. though unlike most strong cigars i have had it was very smooth and easy to smoke. it also was around 4.5 in, but took and hour plus to smoke. i would love anybodies input on this, i am thinking this might be the first box of cigars i will purchase.
