So i picked this up in a sampler pack to try more cigars. At 7" this isn't a small cigar so this'll be a long review for me but i'm excited to try it. So, here we go!


Appearance:Light brown, milk chocolate wrapper, A couple minor flaws but otherwise perfect

Draw:Perfect milkshake draw with just enough resistance




cream, caramel, nuttiness, bread, tea, herbal, had a slight bitterness upon lighting but that has gone away now, toastiness, it’s putting off a good amount of smoke which i wasn’t expecting considering the size, small hints of mint, Some floral hints and sweetness


creaminess, tea, floral, toasted nuts, bread, more toastiness, Flavors haven’t really changed. it’s just been consistent throughout it, some sweet tobacco flavors, Reminds me of a more creamy Casa Torano, sweet tobacco, very mild so far, My palate is getting better determining a cigar that’s from the DR versus Nicaragua,


sweet tobacco, creaminess, toastiness, bread, vanilla, caramel, a sweet twang on the tongue, toasted nuts. No real flavor development, it just stays consistent, as you can see by the photo it started tearing and it only got worse after that so this is where i quit. This cigar just didn’t change that much at all

Ash: ash remained tight and white throughout the cigar so no complaints there

Finish: This cigar frustrated me because i was expecting it to change and develop but it just didn't. It stayed very consistent which isn't always a bad thing but in this case it was. I was expecting more but that doesn't make it a bad cigar just an.....EH, kind of cigar. at 7" i wanted it to change somewhat and that's not asking too much either. After smoking it would i buy it again? No, but that's just me. i can only go on this one cigar though so i have to be fair in saying that. I hope i'm not offending someone who loves this cigar either. It's a beautiful and very mild cigar. I hope you enjoyed this review! God bless you all!
