Ok, so. first things first. I am relatively new to cigars but i am an experienced pipe smoker and tobacco aficionado with a very developed palate. Nicaraguan cigars are my favorite however i am not biased simply due to what i like. I have smoked many premium cigars and pipe tobaccos and Davidoff are a firm favorite... Having JUST finished this cigar, i shall commence the review. for £7-8 i was not expecting much, how wrong i was. first and foremost the cigar does not burn as clean as many higher end davidoff's , and so the ash is not as white or pristine but it still burns very clean for the price point . The flavor upon first light after a slight char (pipe habit) was very very sweet and honey like with some notes of sweet chestnut and licorice, Burning very well and even . The smoke is thick and very smooth and is best enjoyed when exhaled very very slowly through the nose and mouth together . The first third maintains the sweetness and the above flavours then mellows into a more bitter smoke with hints of coffee and spice, It is best enjoyed and tatsed with a lighter draw as the smoke becomes more dense at this point. Upon approaching the end of the smoke it then mellowed back out and became sweet and honey like again which was very surprising! A top class smoke, and owning a website and business myself i know how important a review can be. many thanks
