Pre-Light: I clipped the end and the smell was a little grassy and sweet. The draw was good. It had a slightly spicey taste.
Light: The cigar lit very well and produced a huge amount of smoke. I got a creamy woody flavor.
First Half: The burn was right on the money. It pretty much kept with the creamy wood and a little spice. I got a decent amount of spice with the retrohale. My only complaint was that the draw seemed a little easy after it warmed up. I like a little back pressure and this thing gave very little. The ash was a nice light gray and held well. The overall body was medium.
Second Half: The same creamy wood and spice continued in the second half along with the easy draw. The cigar added a little more strength but was still medium. The ash started getting a little flaky toward the end and produced a nice camel toe.
Conclusions: This cigar is nicely constructed and burned great until the end. All and all I enjoyed this cigar but I don't think it is worth the $9 I paid at my local B&M.

Good cigar, but not the best. I was expecting more out of this one and it failed to deliver. It was a good smoke, but not near the hype of it.

This is a cigar we carry in my B&M, and I make sure and smoke every new brand we get in. I was not very impressed with this cigar initially. Was it a good cigar? Yes. Was it a cigar I'd drop 9.00-10.00 bucks on? No. For an Anny cigar, I was expecting a little more. Just to make sure I wasn't wrong, I took my own advice and went back for a 2nd one just the other day (2/28). Again, the same thing. I would rather smoke the 90 or 92's by Rocky, or spend the same money on an Illusione or Tat. This would be a spectacular $4.00 cigar.
