Not going to be a great review as it is my first review so go easy on me
From when I took the cigar out of its little cellophane house it looked flawless, definitely the most well constructed cigar I have seen. The cut was very clean with no flaking at all throughout the full 75 minute experience.
From the begining and the pre-light draw it had a very spicy/peppery flavor and aroma. This pepper flavour continued from the start to the end and was broken up every so often by a very earthy taste but the spice was still predominant throughout.
The burn was very even from start to finish with no tunneling or one side burning quicker than the other. I did need to re-light a few times though (due to a poor first light as I was outside in the wind with matches).
After about 50 minutes into the 75 minute smoke I started to get a real strength buzz and this continued to make the remainder of the smoke much less enjoyable (this is probably due to my newbie status).
Overall a very good smoke, the draw was perfect with just a slight resistance and put off a lot of thick smoke with every draw. I think I will buy one in a few months and hopefully won't get such a strength rush from it and enjoy it slightly more.
Appearance (out of 15): 15
Smoking characteristics (out of 25): 23
Flavour (out of 25): 20
Overall impression (out of 35):30
Total score out of 100: 88/100
Let me know what you think of my first review please guys
