I admit, I've been hunting for this cigar for some time. So I was very excited to get my hands on these and give em a whirl. The cigar started off with a good draw and smoke output. But the flavor was a whole nother story. It had a odd, sourish type flavor. For a lack of better words, it tasted like ass. Trying to man it out, at the inch and a half mark, it changed for the worse. Now it tasted like burnt ass. I have to take it to the half way point in hopes that it changes for the better. It took so long to get my hands on this stick, it has to redeem itself. Two and a half inches in and I get a slight dusting of cinnamon on top of the burnt ass. By three inches the foul taste has mostly gone and now it transitioned to cinnamon and toasted tobacco. By the half way mark, it's starting to go funky again, so out it goes. I hate dumpin a stick before finish, but there's only so much Im willing to endure. I will hope this was just a bum stick. But I can say for sure that the lighter version I have will spend quite some time in storage before I want to pull another one of these out and give it a try.
