Just picked up a 5'er of these cigars, and they are enormous (9 x 55). They are beautifully presented in a foil wrapper. After taking this cigar out of the foil I noted the slightly oily light chocolately brown wrapper. After snipping off the end, the pre-light draw was a bit tight, so I snipped off a little bit more and problem solved. I lit the tapered end and the cigar burned evenly down to the last two inches when I laid it to rest. The cigar started out a bit spicy IMO, but about two inches in it really mellowed into a creamy smoke. The ash burned dark gray throughout without any burn problems. The flavors changed throughout, and were often difficult for this relatively new habanos smoker to pick out. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this medium-bodied (IMO) smoke, but at about $25 per stick this is not an everyday smoke. The price is the only drawback. If you enjoy big cigars, then I would highly recommend picking up a 5'er just to try.
