Construction
When I held the cigar the first thing that came to my mind was how light it was compared to many others of the same size. The cigar was firm and evenly rolled without any veins with a slightly rougher oily feel.
Wrapper: Equador – Binder: Honuras – Filler: Honduras
Taste
Smell and cold draw
The wrapper had a smell of hay and general sweetness. The filler smelled like hay. What was interesting when I took the cold draft was that the nuances I got were milkiness and a sour fruitiness. A cold draw that was almost unique.

Given the size of the cigar, I was expecting a bit more complexity than I got. The flavors were the same from start to finish. The texture was slightly creamy and at the same time buttery. The flavors the cigar gave were hay, espresso, nuttiness, leather, general floweriness. In the background there were shades of fruitiness, woodiness, general sweetness and cacao. The re-haul was quite smooth and gave hints of white pepper.
After taste
A lighter taste of walnuts
Body
Lower part of medium
Smoke time
The smoke time shocked me a bit considering the size. I thought I would get around 50 – 60 minutes. The cigar was incredibly slow smoking and I smoked it for 75 minutes.
Conclusion
A good cigar without much complexity. The fact that the flavors are the same from start to finish makes it a good fit for moments where you want to smoke a tasty cigar without putting all your fukus on the cigar. The body being on the lower end of medium makes it suitable for beginners and more experienced aficionados. If I compare price vs. quality vs. taste, I think it is right in price.
