Pros: good construction
Cons:

(disclaimer - this is my first review)

asthetics/prelight:

The La Vieja Habana Leather Patch, had only a couple large veins in it that ran almost the entire length. other than that i really cant say much due to coffee stained notes and a bad short term memory lol.

1st draws:

pretty decent pull, didnt have to struggle to get smoke

1/3:

The draw was consistant
a lot of strong flavor in the beginning... mostly pepper and leather

2/3:

draw continued to stay consistant
flavor stayed almost exactly the same until about the half way point... i was starting to think about letting it go due to the strength of the pepper being a little out of my range... when some sort of spice jumped in... i really dont know what it could be... if i had to guess without another stick i would say cinnamon or nutmeg, or something along those lines?

3/3

stayed about the same as the 2nd half of the 2nd 3rd

summation:

it was actually pretty good the last 2 inches to the last inch. but the pepper was way to much for me overall.
