Price: 5.00

Overall Rating: Did I Like the cigar? It was terrible!

This cigar looked good but before I could get it out of the cedar wrap the extremely thin Conn Shade wrapper on this cigar split showing a 1" gap to the binder below. Despite the tear in the wrapper I fired that cigar up. The draw is easy and light but it began to run up one side. The flavor was like someone had sauteed paper bag strips in Oregano and pepper, the flavor then turned quickly metallic and the cigar went into the ash tray. For lovers of metalicised paper bags only.
