This is basically the notes I took on my iphone as I smoked this one earlier today.

Oily, toothy, smooth wrapper. It almost felt silky. Nice and dark color too. No blemishes. Firm but not hard. Kinda soft at the foot, where it looked loosely packed. It has a nice triple cap. Clipped easily with no damage. Easy draw with some spice in prelight draw.

Lit easily. Good initial flavor with some spice through the nose. Good volume of smoke. Some coffee notes. Some ammonia-these are still very fresh. The ash came off easily after about an inch. It could have hung on a little longer, but I typically ash it at this point, and I had no trouble doing so.

I'm having some burn problems, but that's probably because of the breezy 50 degree weather. Lots of nicotine. I smoked it down to about 1.5" and went inside. This breeze is killer.

Overall it was a decent cigar. I think it needs a couple months of rest. Mine only got about 2 weeks. It's also not very expensive, at around $6 I think.
