I bought these cigars from CigarBid.com (Cigars International).     I have been enjoying these for several years now and really are my favorite go-to daily stick.  Nothing fancy, just good and consistent.  These are blended by A.J. Fernandez. 

Appearance: There are very few veins present and the wrapper is a golden brown.  The foot looks like there is a lot of tobacco.   9/10

Construction: The wrapper looks very thin and therefore probably very fragile.  These must be maintained pretty well.  Overall, there are a couple of sunspots but nothing to be worried of.  There are also a couple of softER spots, but nothing I would consider “soft” in itself.    8/10

Burn:   This is one of the highlights of this cigar.  These are so consistent in the burn that I have gotten spoiled smoking them so much.    10/10

Aroma:  Barnyard, hay and grass    8/10

Draw: Again, along with the burn flawless.      10/10

Flavor: Spice up front and mellowing as it burns.  It is not one dimensional but it is not a roller coaster of a ride either.  It is pretty smooth in its development    8/10

Availability: This is an internet exclusive so you can’t go into a brick and mortar store.  I like the pricing but I would like to be able to walk in and buy these if I needed them.  8/10

Personal Overall Experience: As I said previously, this is my go to daily cigar.  I won’t smoke these one after another and frankly if there was a special occasion that I wanted to smoke one for, this would not be my first choice.  However, this is and always will be in my humidor for the drive home or working in the yard.    27/30.

Total: 88/100
