Well, this cigar had a small crack towards the foot when I received it, so that is always a bummer, when you go to cut/light it. I fixed the wrapper, just by holding it down so it could catch the burn, once it made its way towards the unraveling area. Anyway,… the flavor of the cap was way too sweet for me, but the aroma was definitely wonderful. Earth, cinnamon, & pepper are the flavors I got, and I was not dissatisfied. Now on to the issue if the “too sweet” cap. For me, it reminded me too much of a cheap gas station, machine-made cigarillo, (only until the final 3rd) so for me it was hard to get a good hit on the flavors in the mouth. However, the retrohale was very nice. Pepper and a cinnamon hit through the nasal cavity in a very nice manner. Once I got to the final third if the cigar, that generic sweetness of the cap/shoulder, just sort of went away, and it was very reminiscent to an AJF type stick. I wouldn’t buy one again, just because it took too long for that sweet flavor to dissipate from my lips. But other than that, I guess I could recommend this cigar to a new cigar smoker who is looking for that sweet taste. I will say, it was worth trying because how else would a person discover different cigars, if they did not try??
