Notes:

As always a nearly perfect cigar. This one had been down for over a year. I smoked it one afternoon while working on the computer. It was so smooth and so flawless that I hardly even noticed it. It's not that it did not have depth or character, it had plenty, but it's one of those cigars that is just so good it takes care of itself.

It was pretty much middle of the road in strength, and as I said it was smooth as silk. It burned for almost a hour, and when it was done I wanted another one right away.

Notes:

This cigar was a gift and I've had it for quite a while. It's a perfecto about 6x44. After lighting the tip, the burn was very erratic and had to be touched up with a torch. A nice medium-bodied, flavorful cigar was marred by a little too much harshness. I tasted leather in this cigar. The draw was perfect and the flavors remained consistent throughout the cigar. I prefer the natural.
