Appearance

The cigar got a rating of 10/10 for appearance. It is large and the red double band adds style. Some cigars may be a bit veiny.

Construction

With a rating of 9/10, it has high - quality Cuban construction. The draw is good, burn is regular. After 1 year in the humidor, it feels consistent and firm. There was an issue where the wrapper unfolded a bit after cutting the head. The maximum ash length is about 4 cm.

Flavor

• One third: It starts with a strong spicy punch, then changes to a mix of woody and sometimes leathery tastes.
• Two thirds: The taste becomes mild, like coffee with milk and sugar.
• Three thirds: It has a strong aroma of fresh roasted coffee, and sometimes peppery notes appear.

Value

It got an 8/10 for value. It's quite expensive, but a great smoke. If you can find it under $16, you should buy it.
