One of the worst cigars I've had in a long time. Read some positive comments about this one here, knew I had one and thought I'd give it a try tonight.
Construction is spot on. Burn was perfect, ash held and fell perfectly, no issues there.
But I'm being generous to say pepper and a cedar finish because though thats not my preferred profile, I've had a few like that I appreciated. Not this one. Its harsh, it smells bad, and I plowed forward hoping it would smooth out, but at halfway it was just too much. Tossed around an inch shy of the band.
Eta: the taste lingers in my mouth, reminds me of a gas station cigar.
