Stopped by CI's Superstore on the way back from Home Depot yesterday and spied these on the rack.
Apperance short and thick (4 3/4 x 60) with a dark brown wrapper with an oily sheen, its a nice looking cigar. There where no soft spots and the weight was on the heavy side. I thought it may have overfilled, but the draw was fine. First draw brought bitter chocolate notes and spice. During the first half I picked up some coffee and roasted malt flavors. Second half was consitant flavor wise with the first, with it growing a little stronger. Burn was good for the most part I had to touch it up once. Ash was dark greay and firm.
All in all a great smoke, full bodied, good flavors I think a year or two of age would make these only better.
