   Well, this cigar had a small crack towards the foot when I received it, so that is always a bummer, when you go to cut/light it. I fixed the wrapper, just by holding it down so it could catch the burn, once it made its way towards the unraveling area. Anyway,… the flavor of the cap was way too sweet for me, but the aroma was definitely wonderful. Earth, cinnamon, & pepper are the flavors I got, and I was not dissatisfied. Now on to the issue if the “too sweet” cap. For me, it reminded me too much of a cheap gas station, machine-made cigarillo, (only until the final 3rd) so for me it was hard to get a good hit on the flavors in the mouth. However, the retrohale was very nice. Pepper and a cinnamon hit through the nasal cavity in a very nice manner. Once I got to the final third if the cigar, that generic sweetness of the cap/shoulder, just sort of went away, and it was very reminiscent to an AJF type stick. I wouldn’t buy one again, just because it took too long for that sweet flavor to dissipate from my lips. But other than that, I guess I could recommend this cigar to a new cigar smoker who is looking for that sweet taste. I will say, it was worth trying because how else would a person discover different cigars, if they did not try??

   One more thing… The Connecticut wrapper, I am not displeased. I just wish the cap wasn’t so sweet. Maybe they could tweak that sweetness a bit to a more natural tasting sweetness, or just get rid of it all together. It would be a 10 in my book, if not for that sweet cap. The draw was good, even with my wrapper issue, and smoke output was awesome and aromas just relaxed me.

   Paired this stick with frosty delay cigars daily blend coffee. Vanilla creamer choice was delightful stick the sweet creamy tone paired well. I have a bit of a sweet tooth so the sweetness wasn’t to over bearing. It had some natural creaminess to it that I enjoyed. For the price this stick is quite the bargain. It’s a nice cigar that someone could enjoy in the morning with a donut lol just saying. It’s not mind blowing but still enjoyable for those who enjoy some coffee with their creamer and sugar ^_^ best way to describe the flavor. (I’m talking about the cigar not the cup of jo if you didn’t get the pun comparison lol )

   See I actually quite enjoyed the sweet cap. Reminded me of being a kid chewing on a stalk of sugar cane. Then after a draw I’d lick my lips and have the sweet mixed with the honey, and peppery notes i got and it was a perfect mix.

   I really enjoyed the sweetness, I’ll never be on the cover of Cigar aficionado but I know what I like and this one is very good! Great for a late evening ‘snack’ after a long day! Ordering a box just as soon as they become available.

   Not for me but also not usually what I go for. The draw was tight for a little over the first third then smoked nicely. I’m not a fan of a sweet cap. I couldn’t tell if the sweetness was in the cap or the smoke. Didn’t really care for the first two thirds but again I do not usually go for a cigar like this. I really enjoyed the final third. It had more spicy notes and the sweetness went away. Not sure if the flavor wore off the cap or what. I’m sure if you enjoy this type of cigar you will like it.

   This Cigar is sweet and creamy. I love this cigar. A perfect sit out on the back porch and enjoy the weather kind of stick. I paired my with a Dr. Pepper Zero Cream Soda and it was awesome.

   I really enjoyed this cigar. Right from light up there was a strong taste of cinnamon and spice which I loved. The cigar smoked well and did not have any problems with construction. The cap is also sweet so not only is the cigar itself a great smoke the cap leaves you with a great taste as well. I will be order some more and these have quickly become one of my favorites.

    Beware it’s a very sweet cap, but a very good cigar for the price point. I love these and enjoy them every time.

    This was a lovely budget cigar. Mild on flavor, but good draw/burn/construction.
    I would recommend this stick.
