This cigar smells very strong when you first open it, however is suprisingly more mild than I would have thought. The end has all the filler sticking out and not cut off evenly. This makes it a lot easier to light, plus lets you taste the filler without having the wrapper involved for the first few puffs. Not a bad cigar and the outer wrapper does have a nice twang to it.
Wrapper: Dominican Binder: Dominican Filler: Nicaraguan, Dominican

the wrapper is infused with cognac, but fun smoke. Now I have to try their beauty and then the beast. When I was in England, I had the chance to see some real life Gurkha's. The story is they can never draw their famous knives without drawing blood, even if they have to cut themself.

This cigar is incredible. I like to start it by charring the shaggy end and smelling the filler burn lightly. Then tasting the combinations of fillers as you put it under full flame makes the flavor complex before you even incorporate the wrapper. When the wrapper ignites, the smoke becomes full and rich. It is an easy smoke and enjoyable to the very last draw. Very good.
