I smoked my first last night, and was blown away by how flavorful and smooth it was. While a bit stronger than I usually go for, it did not spin my head or upset my stomach. I agree with the review, a great looking cigar with a nice draw and tons of Blue smoke. I had to let it go out when I put the kids to bed, but it re-lit easily and the flavors were not affected by the re-light. I wish I had more of them, but they have had to take a spot on the short list of cigars I have to buy when the finances open up a bit.
