5 - One & done.
This cigar was fine. Id recommend it for someone just starting out. It was very boring, no layering of notes, no interesting flavors,.didn't produce a lot of smoke, smoke was a bit arrid. It was very boring.
First third on the retro wasn't very spicy so i liked that. One the second-third the spice picked up and it burned on the retro, but during the final third the retro burn went away again.
Continue to have burn issues even at a lower 52% rh. Had to relight it probably 10 times. In the final third it was buring cleanly finally.
Over all, boring, not much flavor, but not too spicey. It's fine for a single but there are much better smokes for the price point.

Here's one I go back to from time to time. Found this one in the bottom of the humidor with 2 years of rest since purchase. Smooth yet bold, with notes of leather and subtle molasses. Great draw and decent burn.
TL;DR - unique and rich like few others. EXTREME nic strength. Pair with BBQ brisket and ribs. Recommended. 👍 Aged 9 mos ⏳️ Pre-light deep barnyard and apricot. Nice. 👌 Construction and burn great. Oily AF. Draw is obstructed. Light-up is a solid wow. Apricot lingers. Hints of tangy molasses BBQ. Hell yes this is delicious 😋 And now a PSA: make no mistake, this is a nicotine hammer to the head. Not for beginners, and best with a meaty meal. Pair this with good whiskey, brisket and a campfire 🔥
