I picked one of these up when I restocked my humidor.
Length 4 1/2"
Gauge 33
Build Very good, a few veins in the wrapper but solidly put together. Pre-draw was firm and earthy, lit easily. Smoked nicely though did have to relight the last third once.
Taste Interesting little smoke, dark and earthy to start with lightening to be almost herbal in the middle third then the last third had a whisper of pepper and yet more earth. Lasted a good 40 minutes (which is probably why it needed relighting). Never felt hugely complex at any stage but looking back it had a lot going on in that time, deceptive little bugger!
Would definitely smoke again, in fact I would go so far as to say its my favourite NC to date. It was ?4.79 from Cgars and definitely worth it, if I find them cheaper I would probably pick up multiples. I look forward to trying some more of this range, I have a AD Chateau Fuente King T in the humidor which I got as a gift, if the girlfriend says yes that'll probably be my celebration smoke on New Year's Day.
