Size: 5.75 x 54
Appearance: Excellent construction, wrapper was smooth, slightly firm to the touch.
Prelight: Scent of the wrapper was sweet, almost like cherries. Cut well, draw was good, couldn't pick up much flavor (normally don't). The actual taste of the wrapper was slightly sweet. Not like maduro sweet, flavored sweet. It was nice.
Smoke: Good volume of smoke. Taste was consistent for pretty much the whole cigar, but I couldn't really identify any flavors. Also, in contrast to the smell of the cigar prelight, I couldn't taste anything sweet, just kind of a general, mild-medium tobacco.
Misc: A few minor burn touchups, they might have corrected themselves, but I was impatient. Also, it went out a little less than 2/3 into it, and I had to relight.
Overall: This cigar wasn't as bad as the other flavored cigars that I've tried, which seem to hide a bad taste with a sweet tasting wrapper. However, I wasn't really impressed with the smoke itself. I can't confess to having anything like a refined palette though. Like I said, this was the best smoking flavored cigar I've tried so far, so if you like them you might want to give it a shot. I would smoke one again, but I wouldn't buy one.
