I've had this guy sitting in my humi for a little over 3 weeks and decided to light him up to try to mellow myself out before a job interview tomorrow.
Lit fine and eased into a rather even burn. Never had to fight the draw, so I'd say it was pretty smooth in that regard. On the first couple of draws, I'd say I notice a bit of bitterness with a hint of nuttiness. Quickly, as exiting the first third of the stick, I'd say the bitterness disappeared and was instead replaced with a bit of pepper, but predominantly nutty the whole rest of the way.
All in all, I'd say this was probably more to the medium fare of things. I tend to enjoy what I'd call stronger cigars a bit more (Macanudo Portofino Robustos and Dark Knights are two of my favorites in my limited history and exposure), but this one hit the spot for being a quick, tiny smoke.
It really seemed to hit the spot for me. Seemed like a decently priced stick for the enjoyment I got out of it.
I'm still trying to develop my palate and pick out some of the more subtle nuances of the cigars, so I'd appreciate any comments at to anyone else's experience with this cigar.
