1st 1/3
Pepper blast, great draw, earthy, woody and leathery taste, light coffee, creamy faint sweetness, almost like weak honey, pepper turning spicy smooth, liking this stick so far.

Normally the first 1/3 I'd like someone else to smoke it for me but this cigar is pretty darn good , thick toothing and razor sharp burn with white gray ash and about 1 1/2" before falling off

I love when a cigar that has mixed reviews comes through like this.
Medium/full bodied in strength to me.

2nd 1/3
Stick reminds me a bit of my first experience with a Macanudo

Coffee, woody, leather continuing firmly with some of the sweetness fading and the spice growing but creamy.

The cigar band is one of the widest I've seen, having to take it off here
There's no bitterness or bite and love when a cigar dose this right, running cool too.

Final 1/3
Woody, leather and nutty now and very smooth, this stick never needed babysitting in the burn, a quality cigar from Perdomo.

This is a perfect stick for a new comer and may be too one dimensional for the veterien but well worth a sit down for a relaxing time, a must try and at a great price.

Smoke time: 1hr 20 min
Score 8.5 out of 10

The price and flavor made this a good "yard work" cigar for me. Mowing the grass and weeding the garden was much more enjoyable with a couple of these on hand.

I just had the maduro version Thursday night. It was awesome too.

Just had this stick last night. It has popped up from time to time as I do like a good mild-medium connecticut but I never got around to it. I had high expectations based on reviews and other sticks that I like.

Got to be honest, it was a boring endeavor for me. Not awful, but I did contemplate putting it down several times for fear of falling asleep. From time to time it would chime in with great leather, wood, and nutty flavors but it was few and far between. My go to milds are Casa Torano and G2's which for me have delivered consistently with that leather/wood/nut/cream that I love about mild connecticuts.

I will give it a chance and have another some day, but it won't be any time soon. It is cold out and I don't get many nights to comfortably enjoy a cigar on the deck so the choice of which one is important.
