Nat Sherman NYC 1930
There is some spiciness to this. The draw is a slight bit tight but not unusual.

The draw on this was not very good for most of the smoke. The construction was a little bit Loose as well. Overall I felt it was not a quality smoke.

All around good quality, I really enjoyed the taste and the smell of this cigar. He reminds me of when I was young and I used to smell a good smelling cigar being smoked by somebody else.
