If you are buying this cigar, buy the box – you won’t be disappointed. The construction is excellent with a nice creamy nutty flavor, the transition from first to second third is subtle and from second to final third there is a nice bit of baking spice, not too much but enough to keep you interested. Plenty of smoke with a nice thick creamy smoke texture which is fantastic. Smoked it all the way to the nub until I burnt my fingers! Notwithstanding the above, I have given this cigar 4 stars. The reason is that I have found that the band has been stuck to the wrapper leaf of the cigar and no matter how careful you are in removing the band it will tear the wrapper leaf. I thought this was an isolated issue, however, I have smoked 6 or so of these cigars from the box and it has happened with them all, no matter how close I smoke to the band or how carefully I try and remove it. This does not affect the flavor of the cigar but it just annoys me! Overall great smoke, the cigars arrived to me all the way in Northern Ireland in perfect condition, so a big thanks to CD for that!!
