What reviewers say

  • cigaraficionado.com: 89 points, Churchill, 7 x 54 (2024)In our words: Cream and wood accompanied vanilla and almond. The finish lacked depth despite an even draw.
  • cigar-coop.com: 91 points, Epicure, 6 x 54 (2024)In our words: Cream and cedar remained balanced. Strength rose from mild-medium to medium; burning was excellent.
