The notes stay consistent of leather, toast, and coffee with the coffee getting more pronounced as the smoke burns down. The draw and burn were very adequate, but not as smooth as the last stick.

This bad boy comes with one super oily wrapper! The notes stay consistent of leather, toast, and coffee with the coffee getting more pronounced as the smoke burns down. The draw was great, and the burn only needed minor corrections.

Kind of a hard draw. Difficult to keep the burn going. But a great flavor. Creamy smooth at the beginning. Nutty spice through the middle and a strong finish. Overall a great cigar. Just had some challenges to keep it going.

Not a bad cigar. Draw and burn were excellent. Flavor didn’t do it for me.

Slightly different. Trying dictation instead of notes. Let's see if this works or if I just end up talking in circles. As always, I'm a cigar amateur with a messed up nose. So c'est la vie. Oily wrapper. Smooth with some veins. Smell dark cocoa and sweet. 7mm punch works nicely. Need to get another cutter, can't remember where I set it down last. First third - Creamy tobacco and pepper right away. More pepper and tangy sweetness, fruity maybe but can't quite tell. Thanks to a stiff breeze, the burn is uneven and I keep turning the cigar. Settles out on its own, maybe should have set up on the patio instead of in the backyard. Too late now. Is that a wasp nest? Second third - Ash hung on the while first third. Nice. Smooth and savory now. Pepper is still there, but backed off a lot. More fruit. Cocoa and cedar. Damn this breeze keep burning one side at a time. Touched up once. Aftertaste is generic spices. Wish my nose wasn't half dead. Oh wait that's not wasps that's a carpenter bee. Started getting fresh haybarn on the nose and the pepper is just at the initial draw now. A wheat-y flavor is here and the spice keeps up. I lost the sweet somewhere and nicotine replaced it, at least that's what the little buzz at my forehead says. Last third - Distracted by work. Canoeing is very bad, but that's my fault. Smoking and work, reminds me of my coding days. Anyway, pepper calmed way down. Getting a nice smooth and savory cedar note. There's a lot more going on, but I'll be the first to say my beginner palate can't quite make it out. Nevermind, sweet is back and cleans up the backend nicely. I thought it would well up with nicotine, but no. Well damn, I let it burn out while working. I don't like to relight at the last third so that's it. Definitely gonna get some more of these.

Burn was really off through the cigar. Had to touch it up 5 times. It tastet good though.
