Aesthetics – An ugly stick with mottled brown wrapper that’s medium brown with darker splotches, bulging stems and leaves, and poorly capped.
Score: 5.7
Construction - Surprisingly well-constructed, given its look & feel. The burn is fairly even, just a little off but doesn’t require correction, and the draw is fine throughout. A real slow cooker, it took almost 1-1/2 hours to smoke these.
Score: 9.2
Flavor & Strength – Sweet coffee & cream with light spice & vanilla, but a flat finish.
The smoke leaves a sweet creamy feel, but little flavor. Medium in strength. There’s little change, except the second half is somewhat stronger, with more tartness & charcoal, but the aftertaste still falls flat. The last third is more assertive with less creamy feel to the smoke.
Score: 7.0
General Comments – This is not a cigar I would seek out. It did not hold my attention. A yardgar at best.

well this was going to be my review almost word for word. Thanks for saving me the trouble of writing all down.
There were no off flavors and it didn't taste bad, just flat and uninteresting.
