Mayflower Dawn Robusto (5×50)

I’m a Knowles fan also. I wanted this to tempt me in a higher price point for a morning CT with coffee, but it is very much like another that I already enjoy. There is more to it than some CTs, but it is still very simple. I can say it is smooth creamy and not dry tasting. Mine was cracking about half through and burn was off toward the end. I’ll accept maybe that is my problem as I was in a hurry to give it a try rather than my normal week+ in the humidor after arrival.

Very smooth and complex

I have always enjoyed this smokes! Very smooth and light.

The morning/coffee friendly side of the Mayflower lineup. With a Ecuadorian wrapper, a binder from Cameroon and Nicaraguan Long Filler, you get a cigar that is mild to medium in Body/Strength. Solid construction and a perfect draw. Creamy Cidar, light Coffee Roast, Toasted Nuts, and Cream were a few of the notes I made note of during my time enjoying this cigar.

One of my favorites thus far on my cigar journey. Flavor was great from light up, burn was perfect throughout, good draw. Will definitely buy more of these.

I really enjoyed the Toro in this blend and this was better.

Love the cigar, great morning smoke, but the price is to boutique for me. I can get deals on established big name vendors for much less that are just as good if not better than this. I'd rebuy this if there were deals that took it down by 25%. Sorry Michael, love ya though.

This was a solid smoke. As a fan of Michael Knowles I definitely wanted to give these a try and I was pleased. Was not the most complex cigar flavor wise but the heavy notes of cream were quite delicious and there was a few hits of a straw type flavor in there as well. Only reason I can't give 5 stars here is due to construction and draw. May have just been the stick I had in particular but the integerity of the construction was not sound, and at times the draw was very tight. Otherwise a great stick. Paired very well with coffee. I sipped a mug of Highlander Grogg with this and it was a nice compliment.

These were good. The construction was solid. Draw was perfect. Flavor was there. Wasn't as complex or bold as I prefer but for a new smoker or morning stick it's probably perfect
