"Nice smoke!"

I prefer a large ring gauge that lasts awhile and this cigar did not disappoint. The stogie lasted about an hour and was the perfect companion to Oban Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 year aged. The cigar starts out a little harsh but smooths out very quickly and by the 5th puff is quite enjoyable. Hints of leather, cedar, and a rich spiciness are detected and halfway through an almost chocolaty essence is introduced. The smoke finishes boldly and actually is one of the few cigars I’ve smoked lately that allows you to take it all the way down to the very end with maybe an inch and a half left! That is rare!!! Mist cigars for me are done 2/3 of the way through where they tend to heat up and become harsh. Not this one! A very smooth ending.
