This cigar is the reason I have been watching Cigars Daily for the last month and spending way too much money on a new hobby! I first had this cigar on NYE after being invited on a bourbon run for a friend’s party. I no longer drink but popped into the humidor room and had a look around as I’ve always been interested in smoking different cigars but never fully understood premium cigars the way I do today. I was highly undecided but was set on picking something out, luckily my friends came in and decided they would get something too…and what did they pick out? Well like a good little sheep I followed the others and for once it paid off to break down and do what everyone else was doing. After lighting I was hooked on the flavor and aroma, I’ve always been a fan of coffee/cigarettes/dark lagers/chewing tobacco/things that most would think taste like mulch and dirt but this cigar was so smooth and felt just right in my hand. The size is great for anyone that doesn’t have a half a day to waste and still wants to enjoy a little relaxation with a nice flavored smoke. I’ve smoked 3 of these total(that number will increase though I am starting to venture into different sticks) and each experience has been pleasing. I smoked my last one in 28°F weather and wasn’t upset about the experience if that speaks any volume to the pleasure this stick brings to my taste buds. Lastly, as a beginner, I’d say it’s a great choice to start with. And to Cigars Daily, I’m sure you’ve heard it before but thanks for sharing all of the knowledge and opinions and helping poor people like myself find out about delicious and affordable cigars. Cheers from Ohio and I hope to make it out that way sooner than later.
