I gave up trying to understand why this beauty is so reasonably priced, but the cigar all by itself is the key, the price merely the kicker. Pre-light aroma and draw is very pleasant, the cigar has a firm smooth feel. I have seen next to no constuction flaws. It is not a powerhouse, but a solid medium-body cigar that just bellows a thick aromatic smoke. Woody and creamy, with an appreciated kick in the final third. I get a very nice 1-2" white ash. I needed to order a second box because my plan for aging the first went "up in smoke". A year in the 'dor wont be a bad thing either. Try it with confidence.
