Wrapper is tight with minimal veins; very moist with a creamy aroma. First third has a note of coffee and caramel; earth tones with notes of pepper. Second third, the earth/leather is still prevalent and the creamy and caramel notes increase. For the last third, the caramel note decreased. The smoke output was always thick and smooth. The smoothness of this cigar was constant throughout the entire experience.

Wrapper is tight with minimal veins. This particular cigar seems a bit dry and still. First third has a note of caramel; heavy earth with notes of wood. Second third, the earth/leather is still prevalent and the creamy and caramel notes increase. For the last third, I stopped smoking the cigar. The flavor died off, possibly due to the dryness.

Wrapper has tight seems with visible veins. It has a nice creamy chocolate aroma before being lit. The box press makes it slightly harder to cut with a guillotine cutter. Initial puff reveals a creamy chocolate flavor with some earthy notes and an ever so slight hint of pepper. On the retrohale, the pepper really stands out. The draw is a little tight, but still enjoyable. Burn is mostly even. I did have to do some minor touching up a couple of times. The smoke is about average. After the first third, the chocolate taste dwindles and gives way to a heavier earthy taste, but still keeping the creamy flavor. Note that even when lit, the cigar still maintained a chocolatey aroma; very pleasing. This is definitely one of my favorites. I'm glad I bought a five pack.

A nicely packed little cigar. Very little aroma. Easy to draw with a mostly even burn. Very leathery taste with heavy pepper. Full smoke. A nice cigar in a pinch. Not a cigar I'd smoke again. Too much leather and pepper.

A very tight and compact stick. Draw was moderate. A smooth chocolate earthy taste. Heavy spice on the retrohale. Butn was mostly even. Not a cigar I'd smoke again.

Tight wrapper seams, but easily unraveled after the cut. Before lighting, cigar has a creamy chocolate odor. After lighting, draw is very easy with moderate smoke. A very heavy spice taste with a hint of an earthy chocolate. Mostly even burn. This is a great alternative to the smooth, creamy cigars such as the Oliva Serie G Maduro.

The rapper is a good construction, visible veins and tight seems. Before lighting, the cigar has a very chocolatey aroma. Upon lighting there is a very heavy earth tone along with a light hint of cream and an even lighter hint of spice. The smoke is very light yet thick. The draw is very easy. The burn is moderately even throughout the cigar.

Tight wrapper with visible veins. Draw is very easy, almost too easy for my liking. Very earthy taste with a creamy chocolate aftertaste. A small hint of spice. Very light smoke for the size of the cigar. Mostly even burn throughout the entire cigar.

Wrapper has tight seams with moderate veins. Before lighting, cigar has a very woodsy smoke aroma. Initial draw reminds you of a Marlboro cigarette. After that, there is a heavy woody, campfire taste. Yet, there is a hint of a creamy aftertaste. There is a VERY woody taste on the retrohale. Mostly even burn with a good draw.

Oily and moist wrapper with tight seams and moderate veins. VERY easy draw; almost too easy. Smoke is thick and oily. Leathery taste with an earthy tone. Light spice on retrohale. Further into the cigar and a light chocolate taste is noticed. Burn was uneven throughout the entire cigar.
