I was gifted this cigar from Pathman (Mike) today with a box of chocolates that I purchased. I'm pretty sure this is the Annie Marie Juke. Mike can correct me if I'm wrong. This is what Avalon Cigars has to say about the cigar.

The Juke Series is our everyday smoke. The blends are rich and flavorful to a point beyond what you would expect from an inexpensive cigar. Like the juke-box joints they are named for, these cigars are unpretentious and straightforward, as evidenced by their rustic construction. They burn cool and leave a salt and pepper ash that hangs on forever. All of the Juke Series cigars share a blend of Cuban seed long filler from Nicaragua and Santo Domingo and binder leaf from Ecuador.

This cigar is beautifully constructed. The rustic description is only on first appearance. The cigar is very uniform. The wrapper was a nice dark slightly spottled leaf. There were a few veins running down the cigar. I could not inspect the construction through the foot. The foot is cleanly closed with the wrapper.

Cigar reviewed is the one on top in the next photo.
The cap cut cleanly with my Palio. I was impressed with the construction when inspecting the bunching of the filler through the clean cut cap. The bunching is accordion with some filler that is a bright auburn-red shade reminding me of some of the brightest fall leaves.
Not much torching the foot. I lit the shag and draw firmly on the cigar. The first impression was spice which calmed down after the first couple of draws. I could taste hints of the pecan aging in the finish of the cigar. This cigar finishes very creamy with the hints of pecans and burning pecan husks, this left a very nice flavor on the tongue. Not quite pecan pie, but vanilla cream pecans.
The body did or flavor did not change much. It burned medium and cool throughout. I had to touch up the wrapper a few times due to what looked like a stem in the binder or filler. No big deal. This cigar draws beautifully with very little effort.
I'm not sure I would smoke this everyday because of the differences of the pecan aging, but it's definately one I would enjoy after dinner paired with coffee or a good dessert wine. A great sunny day smoke while sitting on the patio. This is a great product.
