Not a huge smoke, and I've gotta say I wasn't really expecting much out of it considering what I paid either. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a bit harsh for an 1/8" after the lightup but soon made it to a creamy earthiness. This settled into a very sweet taste from a little before halfway until the end. I was surprised by this one random 5 minute burst of hay taste in the middle of all the sweetness, but like I said, it was only a burst. I gotta say though, this cigar if any cigar does, does NOT take kindly to smoking fast, so have this cigar with good company where you're not tempted to really suck on it as fast as you can. Also, I tried to get a beer (Miller High Life) going with it over halfway through and I gotta say that the drinking while smoking with this cigar really detracted from it. Definitely recommend it, especially at it's price!
