Overall Rating: Did I Like the cigar? Yes

This was obviously a very well made cigar. The nice thing about this cigar was that while it was very mild, it was still pretty complex. Most mild cigars end up being one dimensional, this one was interesting to smoke. They are expensive, and to repeat some else's observation, they are no Opus X, but if you like mild cigars and want a good one for a special occasion, this would be my recommendation.
