" -<strong>Mickey T. </strong> (irratebass)85"I didn't get anything off the body, but on the foot I get faint milk chocolate, with some cinnamon and baking spices. " -<strong>Mickey T. </strong> (irratebass)87.5Mild-MediumLight-Medium"Despite it's looks this cigar has started out quite mild/medium. Right away I was met with some baking spices, but that quickly took a back seat to cream and some marshmallow flavors. " -<strong>Mickey T. </strong> (irratebass)87.5Mild-MediumLight-Medium"The cream has taken a backseat and the baking spices are in the driving seat in this 2nd third. " -<strong>Mickey T. </strong> (irratebass)87.5MediumLight-Medium"Final third opens up with some wood and some tar, I have to check to see if there is tar seeping out, nope just me I guess. There is a hint of some caramel in here as well. Let's just say the cigar was really dirty at the end.The cigar ended up being a medium in strength." -<strong>Mickey T. </strong> (irratebass)87.5"Draw was nice and open, no issues with the draw, plenty of smoke output. " -<strong>Mickey T. </strong> (irratebass)85"The burn was nice until the 1st ash fell off then I had some wonkiness to it, and I had to touch it up a couple of times. " -<strong>Mickey T. </strong> (irratebass)87.5"Construction was good, the cigar never went out on me, just a couple of touch ups were needed. When the ash held on it had a gray and black "tiger stripe" going on with it. " -<strong>Mickey T. </strong> (irratebass)87.5"This was a good cigar. I really liked the first & second of the cigar that gave me plenty of baking spices with cream and marshmallow flavors, then in the final third it got very earthy with tar, wood, dirt and spice and pepper. I've never had a cigar that tastes like tar without tar seeping out." -<strong>Mickey T. </strong> (irratebass)105#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?

A combo only cigar lovers would say smells great. " -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)92.5MediumMedium"The cigar lit up very easily. While there is little to no spice in the flavor profile or retro-hale the cigar still is bold with a medium strength. While the primary flavor I'm picking up is hay, cedar, and a bit of cream. " -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)92.5MediumMedium"A bit of spice is introduced in the 2/3. Flavor profile hasn't changed too much. The cigar had been picking up a bit in creaminess, but as I got closer to the final 1/3 the cigar started tasting more ashy and needed to be purged. " -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)92.5MediumMedium"Very little change from the 2/3. After purging the cigar, a bit of the ashy flavor disappeared and returned to the cream/ hay mix. " -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)92.5"The draw was a bit too tight for me but I'm sure others would enjoy. " -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)90"No real issues here. While not razor sharp, the cigar had a very even burn line with no touch ups needed. " -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)85"I'm mixed about this. The cigar needed to be purged and actually started to tunnel around that point. But the cigar still managed to have great smoke output and someone the ash held up very well. " -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)87.5"This was a good cigar but not one that I would reach for again.

It’s core flavor profile kept me happy however it lacked much change or translation which made it a bit one note during the smoking session. Coupled with the quick burning time from a lack of being rolled tightly enough, it doesn’t get to high of a mark from me, however it was very good at what it did provide.
