This is my first review so please be easy on me

Prelight:

Looking at the wrapper it was very consistent. The construction felt to be top notch and was very firm with no breaks in consistency through the whole stick.

So i fired it up :)

Lit up beautifully with very little effort with a nice even burn smoke poured perfectly out of it and the draw was right on.

I allowed it to sit for the longest thirty seconds of my smoking career and took a puff. My initial thoughts were the flavor was very high end fuente in the sense that it just bombarded me with flavors from all over the spectrum. The first 1/4 of the cigar was like this..

Getting into the second 1/4 the cigar came to life... I got Flavors of raisin slight hazelnut and a bit of sweetness which tasted like cocoa. Burn was still razor sharp with no work at all

Getting to the 3rd 1/4 is what your paying for with this cigar.. One of the most perfect blends of the flavors mentioned with a slight hint of cream to go with it.. At this point the burn was slow mythodical and the draw was absolutely perfect. I have smoked many cigars but rarely have i ever been blown away with such a flavor.. This is the point where i decide i need to get more

Getting down to the bottom the flavors intensified a bit and some of the creaminess was overpowered by the other flavors. Still a top notch smoke and still still burning perfectly.. I enjoyed this cigar so much i had to bring out a tooth pick to nub it and it left me wanting another..

Overall
Construction A+
Flavor A
Burn A

A review of the ESG is not making it any easier for the rest of us! Just have to wait until they get circulated! :(

Great review! :cool:
 
I want to agree with everything you said about the ESG, but I have not smoked mine yet...

Just have to wait until they get circulated! :(

I agree, this is why it's hard for me to smoke the one I have...I couldn't bare to see it burned without a back-up. :cool:

Just like potato chips! You just can't have one! :D
 
Thanks for the review.

Glad you enjoyed the smoke, will have to find a few.
Maybe a kind hearted BOTL has some to spare :whistling: ???

Hopefully my B&M will have a few more this week out. I am definitele craving another one or 2 or 3 :)
 
Nice review. My local humi had a bunch of these Saturday, I opted to buy 3 Opus-x, the daily limit, and a PAM though. I guess I'll have to try one of these too. :cool:
 
Great review... Just waitin for them to make it to Louisville.
 
These review of this smoke are making it hard for me not to light up one of the two I just bought last night.
