Say what you will about big ring gage cigars, but I like the more traditional sizes and this cigar is an example of why. I'm writing this as I finish the cigar and its pushing 1700! Yes, three hours out of a normal sized cigar!

Anyway, to the review: You can see on the pic that there was a crack in the wrapper near the foot. It didn't impact the smoke at all, so I won't spend any more time on it. The cold draw was a nice flavor which blossomed into toast on lighting with a hint of pepper in the undertones. The body of the cigar moved back and forth between a sweet, almost syrupy, flavor and the toasty flavor. The finish was a buttery toast taste. A most fulfilling cigar.
