I won one of these in a Poker Game last night. I really wanted to try one of these as I absolutely love the ruination. The prelight aroma and taste was excellent. Sweet and spicy. The wrapper is a beautiful golden color with a few veins. The first hit is spice but with a sweet undertone. The flavors began to mute a little at first but then really pick up. I am in the last 3rd as I write this and the spice and sweet are really there assaulting me, I love it! I am usually not a fan of Conneticuts but this one is a winner, makes me want to try a Man-o-war Virtue. I really look forward to trying one with a Habano wrapper. I would suggest you try this cigar.
