sikk50 · 11-07-2010, 08:35 PM

This was given to me by my next door neighbor when he found out I was into cigars. I personally know about nothing as far as this cigar goes, but it appears to be a botique company. So bare with me.

MSRP: $15.50
Wrapper: Connecticut

Cutter: Xi2

Veins: very few medium size
Oil: light
Imperfections: three small cracks at the foot

PreLight Flavor: Hay

First Third
Appearance: 9/10
Construction: 7/10
Burn Quality: 10/10
Taste: 14/20

A: 9/10
C: 7/10
BQ: 10/10
T: 16/20

Light to medium body, the middle was pretty good, but it was slow to get there and the last two inches were over powered by the tobacco flavor.
