This was a wonderful smoke. Construction was excellent and the wrapper was beautiful. It burned perfectly without needing any correction. It was immediately tasty. No waiting for half inch or inch before it ‘gets going’. It was very rich and transitioned to a sweet taste in the middle before it finished up the way it started. A very good cigar and at around $11 it’s a great stick that won’t break the bank. I’d put it up against several Padrón sticks and declare it victorious.
