I liked this cigar. It was a good experience to have a pressed cigar have a decent draw and good smoke output, for being on the small side. I appreciated the notes that I was able to pull from the smoke. The cherry Juice almost had a syrupy feel to it. The cigar was evenly packed with minimal veins. the wrapper was even for the most part except for where the band would go. It was a bit darker there. The construction brought the score down, but the flavor notes kept it in a great ball park. This blend is solid. Its worth at least a few experiences with it. It wont disappoint your palette. These cigars will pair well with Wild Turkey 101.
