These cigars where great. The big ring gauge threw me off because I usually don’t get this kind of complexity and range from this size. It was a welcomed surprise. I used a punch cut on both and the draws were perfect. Like wow, perfect. The retro hale was amazing. Just enough pepper and spice and the flavor notes were pronounced. The flavor transitions were great because each flavor had a standout moment in the retro hale and they could be picked out relatively easy. If you get a chance to smoke this cigar, you will enjoy it.
