Decent draw of the it is a little tight. The smoke out put is decent too, The Taste is on the better side. Construction is okay it seems a little bit soft I prefer a real hard rigid outside.

Decent draw of the it is a little tight. The smoke out put is decent too, The Taste is on the better side. Construction is okay it seems a little bit soft I prefer a real hard rigid outside.

There is a kind of flowery Taste of the sake. Not too sweet I think I might like it just a bit sweeter though. Overall it is enjoyable but it feels like it's very close to being fantastic.…

Very good construction, very good smoke output good flavor everything about this cigar is very enjoyable.

Great construction and a fantastic draw. Some spiciness to the flavor kind of a medium body.

The draw is a bit on the Poor Side. Smoke output is medium too poor. The texture of the outside feels good smooth, seems like it's been aged. A slight sheen from oils. It has a bit of a uni…

Not hand-rolled but the construction is fantastic. The smoke output is also very good. The Taste is robust but definitely the weakest link in this cigar. I would definitely buy the cigar ag…

8.5% alcohol by volume. It tastes like a higher alcohol percentage. Forced out there is really not a lot of flavor coming through. I'd say it's mostly flat not enough bitterness to give me…

The cigar seems like a very good bargain. It has good Construction good output of smoke and a very complex flavor a bit of bitterness but a very deep and Rich flavor behind the bitterness.…

Decent Construction, medium draw. The flavor is not really good or bad. Overall and enjoyable smoke but nothing to write home about.

The draw is very good, almost perfect but not quite the smoke output I would like. Very smooth subtle flavors comma creaminess to the smoke. Overall very enjoyable I highly recommend this.


Very good sarsaparilla taste, not too sweet which I like.

This has a nice dark chocolate taste. Not as full-body as I like however.

This was a weird tasting root beer a kind of reminded me of Medicine maybe a little bit of a cherry medicine taste to it.

Construction is decent, smoke output is fantastic. Smoke has a hint of cardboard which is not pleasant but it's also kind of creamy and there's some other complexity to it. Some spice to it…

Very good smoke, great draw, great construction, great flavor. CAO consistently produces very enjoyable cigars.

The construction if this cigar is terrible. Mediocre smoke output. Not bad taste. Some complexity to it. Some sweetness.

Pretty good beer refreshing as you drink it there's a little bit too much better on the aftertaste but just slightly almost barely enough to notice.

This has a high alcohol content at 10% by volume. The flavor is fantastic this is one of the best beers I've had in a long time. Rich and dark.
