"Not as good as RP Quarter Century"

Purchased based upon some writeups in other publications and my experience smoking the Rocky Patel Quarter Century which was fantastically smooth and tasty . On the first draw I got hit with a ton of pepper, which was very odd because that taste faded very quickly even in the first third. After that it was a very smooth tasting cigar, medium body. Only real issue was the uneven burn which I saw in some other reviews too. I had to touch it up a few times. But other then that, a nice cigar on a summer evening with a cold ale for me.
