Box Year: 2001 (no factory info)
Smoked outdoor patio

Wrapper: Dark tan wrapper with thin veins, a bit rough looking, nice cap. 4/5

Construction: Firm feel, solid cigar. Draw was even, burned even, nice light gray ash. 5/5

Flavor: Earthy and woodsy straight forward strong tobacco flavor, some bitterness on the finish. No complexity with this cigar, smoked the same from beginning to end. 6/10

Final Thoughts: This cigar was surprisingly strong. The lack of complexity made it a bit boring towards the end. Overall a great tasting cigar if you enjoy woodsy earthy cigars that lack complexity. This cigar is not for everyone, but if the flavor profile is agreeable to your palate, you will love these.

Final Score: 15/20
