O.K., this cigar was really something else. I was a little concerned at first when I bought it, thinking that it would be way too strong for me, and that I would have to perhaps write yet another story in the: "cigar that kicked your @#$" thread. The first dozen draws were almost as good as sex. This was one of the better smoking experiences that I've had. Of course as I was enjoying the cigar for awhile, an acidic, harsh-leathery taste did develop, and then disappeared. Don't take acidic or harsh to be negative, I just can't think of a better descriptor. It had a woody, deep and rich taste to it that lasted quite awhile. Now for the amazing part. Usually when you get to the end, the cigar gets very bitter and you know it's time to stop. Not with this one!! It was a mere stub when I put it down, it was nice and smooth all the way down. A nice after-taste inhabited my mouth, one that was very pleasant to the senses. It had a slow and even burn during the duration of it's smoked "life" After a fiasco with a strong cigar, with was a great rebound experience! I have a second one that I pledged not to smoke, but I will undoubtedly smoke it and be forced to buy more.
