So, I got this one in a sampler and was intrigued immediately due to the aged tobacco used. The tobacco's are aged 7 years. I mean it could all be hype but it still makes me want to try it and see. I'm expecting a rather smooth and mild cigar. I got these in a cigars daily sampler a few weeks ago. So, let's review it and see hoe this smokes!

Wrapper: A beautiful milk chocolate wrapper that is buttery smooth with some vein showing, a single capped almost smooshed pigtail

Pre-light/Draw: Pre-light aromas are barnyard and hay, Draw is a little loose, not too loose though




nuttiness, finish is very smooth, nutmeg, toastiness, very mild to start, hay/grass, vanilla, mild coffee, woodiness, Smoke is really coming off this, Early on the flavors are hard to come by, it’s just like drinking a glass of whole milk. Just very smooth, no pepper to speak of,


more nuttiness, just pure smoothness not a lot of flavors, wood, vanilla hints, mild hints of coffee, very smooth finish, some baking spices, some caramel, sweet tobacco, a very faint amount of white pepper and earth,


Flavors are coming through a little more now, Nuttiness, white pepper, earthiness, vanilla, baking spices, coffee, I wish this cigar started this way instead of ending it this way, some spice, still has a very smooth finish, woodiness,


Ash/Burn: Ash was packed well with no shedding salt and pepper grey. The burn while not razor crisp required no touching up.

Final Thoughts: It's hard for me to write about this cigar with tobacco aged 7 years. When you age tobacco that long a lot of the flavors settle down and sometimes it's to the detriment of the cigar. Things like spice and pepper get lost but this cigar is a pure example of what a smooth cigar should be. Personally i like when cigars have a lot of flavors punching me in the face but that's just personal preference. If you love smooth, mild cigars then this cigar is for you otherwise you may want to avoid this one. It wasn't a bad experience just a rather boring one. If I wasn't reviewing this cigar i would've quit smoking it halfway through. I can't recommend you go out and spend money on this cigar unless you love nothing but smooth, mild cigars. Other than that I hope you enjoyed my little review and have a blessed day! God bless you all!
