This is my first review, on what I know is a well known cigar, but here goes:
I got 10 of these for $3/stick on the Joe Cigar deal about two weeks ago. Let them acclimate in the humi for a while and lit the first up last night, paired simply with bottled water.
It started mildly and a little dry, but after the first inch became nice and creamy, with maybe a little coffee or chocolate. The burn was nearly perfect, and any inconsistency quickly self corrected. The last third ramped up and became nice and spicy, shortly before getting hot. I can compare most of the cigar to a milder version of a Partagas Black, and the last third can be compared to an again milder version of maybe a Pepin Black. Overall, a nice medium bodied smoke with decent evolution of flavor.
