This cigar is good. Great construction, great draw, well balanced flavor profile. It was strange to pick up apple pie and the dried banana, but they went so well with the blend. When it comes to cigars, I am a fan of spice, wood, coffee and a good bit of chocolate. This cigar was sweet, but the sweetness leveled off towards the end and it was really enjoyable. I encourage you to smoke this one.
