My first review. I remembered that Ginseng did a review on this great cigar a while back, so I checked it just to see what I was in for. The construction was great. I’m not sure what it smelled like, earthy maybe, it was pleasant. It had a nice oily wrapper too. Clipped it with a double bladed, tight draw. Lighting was easy, but the draw was giving me second thoughts about this little cutie. To my surprise the draw became a very easy and mouth filling one about an inch or so down. The burn was erratic at first then leveled out as time went on. The taste hmmmmm, that’s a tough one. I’m not really too sure when it comes to pointing out an array of different notes, if I like it, its good for me! The only hints I came up were huge smacks of leather and as I waited in between draws, it turned into a really sweet and clean woody/cedary party! It was odd; my mouth was filled with very smooth and clean feeling smoke through out the whole stick, never harsh, even when my fingers and lips were burning from the little nub. I did find some spicy notes here and there and they were great. Overall, this is a cigar to keep in stock in the humi. I also felt a bit dazed when I got up to go inside, weird. To me, a review is worthless with out pictures. I took two with my camera phone so the quality isn't great. I give these pictures in honor of the person who always shares great pictures, Ginseng! :thumbs:
