The presentation of the wrapper was even colored. The initial impression upon first light was a reminiscent of old an world style cigar as I was smoking it. One of the review cigars had major construction issues, with the burn running down the wrapper, and requiring multiple touch-ups. It ruined the overall experience of that sample for me. The second cigar had a mild run of the burn down the side, but require as much maintenance. It would have scored higher, but the persistent combustion/construction brought down the score. I would absolutely give this one another shot in the future. Pairing Suggestions: Creamy Coffee, Cream Soda, Bourbon
