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.

2 - Buy a box (90 - 97)
3 - Buy a five-packer (74 - 89)
4 - Bargain-buy (55 - 73)
5 - One & done (35 - 54)
6 - Life is too short (15 - 34)
7 - Strait to jail (0 -14)
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.
