I just so happened to grab this cigar randomly as I was in a hurry and after reading that it received a high rating and was a #2 for COTY. For a beginner that had previously only smoked gas station cigars and a couple Sweet James from Deadwood, this thing further opened my eyes to the cigar world without a doubt. The feel was very nice in hand and the look of this cigar is beautiful and classy in my opinion. After lighting up, I could finally understand what people were talking about with pepper though it wasn’t too overpowering. I found it to be rather smooth though closer to finish a lot of the taste was gone for me. My only issue was the construction, I used a punch and had a nice clean cut but the cap was just kinda hanging on from the beginning, luckily never coming off.
