This was a big fat cigar that lasted a very very long time. Very rich flavors and very good construction and dry. Even though it was very thick it wasn't uncomfortable in my mouth.

Has a bit of an unusual Aroma to it that I have not had before. The Taste is on the better side but with some complexity to it. I enjoy it. Good construction and a very good draw.

This was a long thin cigar. Well constructed, good flavor very good draw and it lasted a lot longer than I thought it would considering it's diameter. For the price it was very very good.
