Review: PIO 1996 Series “My First Love”

Stallone Alagan Review: The Experience

This score is a good reflection of the tobaccos. The wrapper cracked in a few places, and the burn was waved a bit then even led out. It lost points due to having a really loose draw. I like a more open draw, but this seemed to be due to not enough tobacco. Even with those issues, the complexity of flavors and over all experience was worth it!
