Cigar Weekly

I was given this cigar at the RTDA as a sample. I smoked it last night and what a cigar. I don't have any particulars on filler, binder or wrapper but the taste was great.

Pre light aroma was a very nice tobacco fragrance.
Pre light draw was easy and somewhat spicy.
The cigar burned evenly for the most part. At times it became uneven but corrected itself. I believe this was due more to the fact that the humidity level yesterday here was 1000%. Actually the fact that it stayed lit with all the humidity was a testament to the cigar.

Flavor was just wonderful. Spicy, earthy and it stayed throughout the cigar. The cigar never got hot. The aroma was very pleasant to the point I was running the lit cigar under my nose to smell the fragrance. I have not enjoyed a cigar like this in a long time and compared to the few Opus X I have smoked this was much better. This is truly a roach clip cigar.

In summary, if you can get these cigars get them.
