Beautiful cigar. I have tried 25 cigars an dcounting in my cigar adventure so far. This has to be one of the best. The band alone is by far one of the best I have seen. I can't say much about the flavour as I am still working on my platte and find it hard to describe the flavours. The draw was a little tight with a punch cut but I went to a normal cut and it was really easy. The construction was really good too. Very pleased with it and would definitely buy again.
