Seams cause concern" -<strong>Ryan H. </strong> (Ryan H.)90"Very distinct and strong dry hay very sweet in the nose the cigar is very light weight in the hands." -<strong>Ryan H. </strong> (Ryan H.)87.5MildLight-Medium"It starts off with a very strange combination of crushed red pepper and brown sugar i have never experienced this combination, but it is interesting indeed. It doesnt take long to transform into sweetend cream and earth. Still a mild spice on the back end. Cigar is light in strength. I really cant believe how sweet it is, has alot of good flavor for as light as it is" -<strong>Ryan H. </strong> (Ryan H.)90MildLight-Medium"Burn correction needed at the begining of the second third looks like it will need baby sitting. With all the sweetness coming off this cigar makes me think it may be infused/flavored. Burn is headed wonky again." -<strong>Ryan H. </strong> (Ryan H.)90Mild-MediumLight-Medium"The last third increases in strength but not much. The cigars profile leans more towards earth in the last third" -<strong>Ryan H. </strong> (Ryan H.)87.5"No problems with draw." -<strong>Ryan H. </strong> (Ryan H.)82.5"Burn needed baby sitting the last two thirds of the cigar" -<strong>Ryan H. </strong> (Ryan H.)85"The splotchy wrapper and the seams were not well put together" -<strong>Ryan H. </strong> (Ryan H.)87.5"The cigar had good flavor overall experience was limited due to construction and burn.

12/7/2017 22:11:03Steve ThaGreatWazoo)69190"This was a nice looking cigar. A deep rich brown wrapper. A little toothy with a nice build and cap." -<strong>Steve </strong> (ThaGreatWazoo)87.5"Heavy aroma notes coming off the cap. The profile was very thick with notes of barnyard and hay. A slight touch of earth rounded the flavors out. " -<strong>Steve </strong> (ThaGreatWazoo)85Medium-StrongMedium-Full"As soon as I lit the cigar, I could feel the softness of the wrapper near the cap. The cigar almost felt wet as if it was a wet wrapped cigar. Very soft and loose. The burn would die out very fast and needed a lot of attention. The notes were medium-full with hay, grass, and earth. However, the notes were not very crisp and melted together. The overall feel and construction has me very down on this cigar." -<strong>Steve </strong> (ThaGreatWazoo)70MediumMedium"I have had to continuously light this cigar and it will not stay lit. All I am getting now is heavy char from the relights. I am trying to keep it going, but it will not stay lit. I have checked my Xikar travel case and it is dry, so I do not know why the cigar is so wet." -<strong>Steve </strong> (ThaGreatWazoo)80MediumMedium"The final third was smokeable, but the char was too much. Very disappointed in this cigar." -<strong>Steve </strong> (ThaGreatWazoo)85"The draw was open and clean, but nothing over the top. Not too much smoke coming off of this cigar." -<strong>Steve </strong> (ThaGreatWazoo)75"The burn was bad. It was mainly the moisture in the cigar. Could not keep it lit." -<strong>Steve </strong> (ThaGreatWazoo)75"The build was nice, but the soft spots and the overall feel made this cigar so low in this category." -<strong>Steve </strong> (ThaGreatWazoo)80"The aroma and cold draw had me semi-excited, but the overall lack of burning from the moisture and the amount of relights I had to complete made me want to get rid of this cigar quickly. I hope this was an isolated issue and others were able to enjoy, but after checking all my equipment, I do not know why it was so wet." -<strong>Steve </strong> (ThaGreatWazoo)85#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?

Dark coco, slight hazelnut (Nutella) aroma as well. " -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)95Mild-MediumMedium-Full"First 1/3 of the cigar is really enjoyable. Rich smokey oak mixed with nutty flavors coming through. I can't put my finger on the slight fruity flavor I'm picking up as well. Hints of dark chocolate coming through as well. Starting out to be a very complex cigar that I'm digging. Also REALLY nice mild pepper retro hale. I typically like a lot of spice coming through the retro hale but this is just great. " -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)95MediumMedium-Full"Very similar flavors coming through into the 2nd 1/3. Spice is picking up slightly both in body and retro hale. I keep wishing I could put my thumb on the slight fruit notes I'm picking up. Something like a chocolate cherry but thats just not it. I'm loving the back and forth game I'm playing with this cigar. Keeps me scratching my head and wanting more. " -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)95MediumMedium"I really enjoy the subtle sweetness mixed with dark coco I've been picking up from this cigar. The spice has subsided slightly but still noticeable. Cedar is still present but mixing in with more of earthy barnyard notes. " -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)92.5"While I personally prefer a more open draw, I had no issues. " -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)97.5"Very tight burn throughout the smoke.

" -<strong>David F. </strong> (dfafjf)97.5"While this is not the best cigar I have smoked, it was complex, very flavorful, and had me wanting more. Certain flavors that I could not put my fingers on but were so enjoyable. After smoking many cigars it can be difficult to find something that just leaves me excited to know exactly what it is, and this cigar delivered.
