Right off the bat I’d have to say that this cigar is honestly one of the best I probably have smoked so far (excluding some Romeo y Julietas). As soon as I received my pair of these Knuckle Busters i immediately put them in my humidor and let them sit and “rest” in there for nearly 3 weeks until just today. As soon as I pulled it out the cello I noticed how perfect the wrapper was wrapped around with no issues or damage, and the velvet smooth texture that was described is honestly true. The feeling was velvety with a slight suede feel to the touch which I didn’t expect to feel on a cigar at all. The first taste impression upon lighting is a sweet and peppery taste, but by the time I was reaching the second 3rd I noticed the taste expanded to a more earthy taste with a very slight taste of water the same way you smell it on grass if that’s even a good way to describe it. It definitely had a “springy” type of vibe from the cigar. Other than that the 4 flavors were very consistent until the end. The construction itself when burning was very perfect with no cracks,unrolls, or any holes. I only needed slight touch ups twice which were to only correct a possible canoe so it wasn’t needed but I did it for my comfort. What I am more surprised out of everything is that this medium to full bodied habano burned for a long time and took me 90 minutes to finish. I previously smoked “larger” cigars like a 6×54, 6×60, and 7×54 and it was surprising to me that I had spent more time smoking this then any of the other ones. I forgot to mention it but it was a smooth smoke and had no clogs or anything. Overall I am very satisfied on the quality of the flavor and construction for just $5. I do definitely plan to purchase a couple more or even a box in the future. This one is guaranteed to be a good smoke for any amateur or an experienced smoker. Will definitely give this a 10/10 or a 100 on the “proper” cigar grading scale. Might be a little too generous on the grading but I honestly loved how incredibly smooth and tasty it was especially being consistent all the way through and considering how light the flavors are as well.
