One of the worst I've smoked. If this is a a buttery smooth cigar that practically melts in your mouth, I'll have none of it. Bitter, harsh. Won't stay lit. Too soft. Has plugs, burns atrociously uneven. Tobaccos are unaged and under fermented. Biting earthy taste. Uses poor grade tobaccos. Very disappointing. With terrible aftertaste. Wrapper leaf doesn't taste like its naturally cured. Description in CI catalog must be for another cigar.

I didn't have the same terrible experience. Although I felt that it was more like smoking a stick of butter than being buttery smooth, i didn't remember it as being that harsh. My biggest problem was the black lips as discussed on another post.

jvanore,other than that,how did you like it? X

Really a great looking cigar. Should glass encase, and post use for energencies, or on give to enemies.
