My review should be going up on Friday, will be in the review section. If it's good, as it sounds like it will be, I'll cross-post at a few other places as well.

Just started the cigar.

  • Wrapper cracked a bit but that could be user error.
  • Pre light draw was nice.
  • Cigar lit easily and is producing good amounts of smoke and decent flavor.

  • It's keeping a pretty decent burn and the flavor has amped up a bit.
  • Reminds me of a cigar I like but I cannot place the flavors. (It kinda reminds me of an old fresh LP#9. Not that it tastes like it but the flavor/smell is reminiscent of it.)

  • Nice easy draw
  • Still great smoke
  • A little harshness (what people call pepper) but a good harshness is coming forth.
  • I'm enjoying it so far (and I don't like much)

  • Put the cigar down to respond to an email and it took a while but the cigar stayed lit.
  • Flavors are gentle now yet enjoyable
  • This review business is too much work.

Just enjoy the smoke! Hehehe.
I am.

So here's my final thoughts on this cigar:

I have a scale for reviews:
  • Bad
  • Okay
  • Buy a box
  • Buy more than a box.

Don't know MSRP on these but if they're reasonable (and the Birdhouse is supposed to be 7 so these might be around there as they're not limited or maybe less) I would buy a couple of boxes. If it was a corona sized, I would buy more.

I have the right to change my mind if the last third stinks :)

Flavor getting a little harsh again. But still good. I think this will be ever better in a year or so.

Just started following on Instagram. Excited to get my hands on some of these, especially the coronas, as soon as they are out.
Thanks for the follow! That new vitola will be mad good.

Today was finishing details on the box of rogustos.
