This cigar would be best enjoyed after dinner. It has an irregular shape that slightly increases in ring gauge towards a tapered foot. The first sample had some construction issues (it went out completely within the first half inch). On both samples the cap was loosely applied and needed some babysitting to prevent it from unraveling. There's very nice smoke production although at times the smoke felt a little more oily on the palate than I would have liked. Overall the flavor profile was pleasing, however the construction prevented the cigar from scoring higher.
