I like the 15-year Reserve so much I wanted to go back and try the 12. This one has a bit more spice than the 15 year, and it lingers on the tongue a little bit longer and sharper. It reall…

After taking a draw my mouth explodes with flavors. There's a good amount of spice to the flavor but subtle notes of cinnamon and even vanilla which are strange things to use to describe a…

This cigar starts off with a ton of spice. It has a medium draw and a good amount of smoke output. Has a good amount of bitter flavor coming in with a spice. As I get a little further into…

This has a sweet taste to it. Great Smoke output and a good draw. There's a little bit of spice but not too much. Very nice construction on the cigar with a matte finish.

The draw is a little bit tight but not very unpleasant. It started off very spicy but it's getting more mellow as I get further down the cigar. The burn is not very even, although it's seem…

Lots of spice in the flavor but not black pepper. Very good smoke output and very easy draw. The construction on this is fantastic.

This is a brand that I am normally quite fond of. They usually have consistent Construction and good draws. This one is no exception. It's taking me awhile to Define The Taste I'm getting f…

This is a very fine cigar. Very smooth smoke a great draw pretty close to mild to medium. The smoke is velvety the same way the wrapper looks.


The draw on this is ridiculous. It's the best draw of any cigar ever smoked. It's like sucking an empty straw. It's also has a pretty white gauge so the drawers compounded by its thickness…

Decent Construction, the smoke output is good. It could be a little bit more But nothing wrong with it. The draw is a little bit light. There is some spiciness to this flavor but it's actua…

It has a very grassy taste. A sharp spice to it as well. It has very good smoke output. After smoking it down a little bit the flavor has mellowed some but the smoke out but it's just amazi…

Mostly a creamy flavor with a bit of spice in it as well.

The flavor is not bad but the draw was so tight that the whole cigar was not really Pleasant and it hard to give a review on anything else other than the poor draw.

Lots of spice to the flavor of this. The draw is good and it is wrapped good.

I've had this cigar before, normally it is very good. This particular Incarnation however was not so. The wrapping fell off as I smoked it the draw was a little too tight the flavor was dec…

The draw on the cigar is absolutely terrible. I feel like no further reviewing can really be done with the draw this bad.

Construction is decent. I prefer a bit of a harder wrap but it Burns cleanly. The draw is a little bit tight. There is some spiciness with a wood flavor to it. Deep and Rich. The flavor is…
