I have been lucky to smoke many different cigars over the 40+ years since my father introduced me to cigars. Some have been memorable some not so. This one is in the Very Memorable and must have another soon list. It looks big and is big, it looks as though it will be very very strong and not for the feint hearted. Wrong! It has a real array of tastes the most suprising the superb sweet taste that came shortly after the initial few intakes, it completely took me by surprise and was superb. A very even burn all the way through and not the throat ripper you normally get with cigars this size. As a matter of fact I would go as far to say that it would be a good cigar to have if you are looking at moving to the larger size cigars. I will be certainly getting another soon.
