I’ve always liked the name of this little smoke and now I got to try one. It had a velvety, natural wrapper and decent construction, not great. At first light, it threw off a sweet tobacco flavor, with a mild to medium body, leaning more towards the mild side. As I smoked, it became apparent that this is a mild, not very complex cigar with an “airy” almost menthol type of flavor. The ash fell at about an inch and the flavor began to improve slightly, becoming a little richer and toastier.
The flavor didn’t improve much more and the construction became more questionable, as I got not one, but two hot ashes in my lap before I threw this stick into the bowels of the ashtray! Both times the ash was no more than 3/4 of an inch.
Overall, for being so light on flavor, it still had a harsh finish/aftertaste. I will definitely NOT be buying any more of these anytime soon. Maybe it needed some “Lewinski” to flavor it up.
