Smooth and builds
very smooth,creamy cigar. Cigar builds as you smoke it down and I found the pepper picks up as well. Not harsh and did not require a purge either. Nictone was not very noticeable and only felt at the last 3rd of the smoke. Not at all like a Padron 26/64 type of kick. Very nice med-full stick as a poor man's alternative to a VSG. reminded me of a Butera with a little Punch spice. I bought another box this week, and looking to try the Mi Amore line next. It would have been 5 stars if the vit N was stronger lol.
