Burn was even and no hint of harshness. The first third of the cigar was very nice.
The ash was firm and by now I definitely was getting a good woodsy flavor out of it. This was also a very strong cigar; full bodied and flavorful.
My first problem just showed up. I took off the wrapper and found this gaping hole in the wrapper. There was no leaf on the band so I figure it came this way.
Towards the end I was getting a little bit of spice but nothing too strong.
I pretty much ended the smoke with it about 1/2 to 3/4 of inch long. The flavors were very good throughout and, other than the hole in the wrapper, I was very satisfied with it. I will be getting more of these smokes. 9.0 out of 10. Not bad, not bad at all.
