The big ring Kristoff is a smooth and tasty cigar. The second half is definitely more full bodied than the first but a really pleasant smoke. About half of them don’t draw well and I end up using a skewer to get it to draw. I keep my humidor at 70rh and it doesn’t seem to affect my other cigars so it’s either over-fill or they are considerably lower than 70 upon arrival and swell internally. They burn very evenly and I rarely have to touch them once they are lit and drawing. But be warned: they are a 90 minute cigar so allow plenty of time before lighting up. I’m not enough of an aficionado to give a true rating, but I wouldn’t put them quite on par with cigars in my humidor that are rated 92 or above. I tend to buy cigars in the $10 or less range except for some treats that I keep for special occasions. They do not have that harshness or “bite” that is common among similarly priced cigars and the flavor isn’t quite as full as a Rocky Patel or Montecristo but overall a very good cigar and one that I will keep in my humidor.

Good smoke, if you have a little more time to just be at ease. Medium strength.
