An excellent 5×52 smoke, producing copious amounts of thick cool smoke.  Starting with a good light peppery heat on the long finish, the flavors of chocolate and earth mellowed into a smooth leather and cocao oily mixture.  Overall a medium-full bodied experience, it is sure to please the more demanding pallete for sure.  Never over powering, the blend instead delivers a solid flavor with each draw and keeps you interested all the way through.  1 hour to the nub where it got hot.

Overall a medium-full bodied 5.5×5 smoke that took 1/2 the stick to develop it’s flavors. The mouthfeel and amount of smoke steadily increased to the 2nd 3rd producing a creamy textured nutty flavor with a hint of pepper on the extremely short finish. A simple smoke with a good kick.  The burn was good with no problems, and the draw was on the firm side but still very good.  I have a feeling the other vitolas would offer a better experience and I look forward to trying them someday.

A fairly complex blend, giving a variety of flavors throughout the stick. The burn and draw were both excellent with no issues whatsoever. The 6×52 stick was a VERY slow burner ending nice and cool all the way to the nub after 1 3/4 hours. The start offered a bit of wood and pepper quickly going to a leather and earthy flavor with a nice bit of pepper on the long finish. The middle brought out a chocolate replacing the leather, and it ended with a warm smooth nuttiness. The whole stick was very smooth and refined, with a very slightly sweet oil left on the lips.

A very nice blend of slight pepper, leather, touches of caramel and sweet woody flavors. The finish is short on the first half, growing longer to the band. The burn was excellent, the draw very good on the loose side – no construction issues. A very enjoyable mild-medium 6.1×52 smoke for about $5!  Photography by BG Pictures.
