Appearance

The wrapper leaf has three small circular cut - outs like trumpet keys. It comes in a dark brown lacquered container. There are two bands on the cigar. A few large veins are prominent on the brown wrapper. Rating: 5/5.

Construction

Overall construction is strong with a great draw. But there were burn issues, needing multiple touch - ups to keep the burn even. Rating: 4/5.

Flavor

• One third: Starts with hay and pepper notes, then sweetness emerges, and coffee becomes more predominant.
• Two thirds: Cedar notes emerge from the sweetness.
• Three thirds: Hay and spice are in the backdrop, coffee fades, and butterscotch stands out. Eventually, flavors merge into a balanced blend. Rating: 4.5/5.

Value

Great in terms of flavors, but burn issues and high price are a concern. Rating: 3/5.
