Overall I really enjoyed the cigar.  I was impressed as I was expecting the blend to be watered down in the larger ring gauge, but I was wrong.  Robert Holt told me the blend was tweaked a bit for the larger ring gauge so that wouldn’t happen. I was dubious of this, but he was right.  The flavor and richness was there just as he said.

An oily, box-pressed cigar with an even, open draw. Sweet and spicy notes of brown sugar, pepper and toffee are underscored by a foundation of nuts, wood and coffee bean. The cigar is rolled with a closed foot.

92/100

Overall, I really enjoyed this cigar, which surprised me because I don’t normally like a cigar with so much pepper and spice. The fact that it mellowed and transitioned into a nutty flavor really peaked my taste buds. I would definitely smoke this cigar again.
