| I will never buy this cigar. I really think it is a shady practice to dye a wrapper to make it look darker. And if you are going to dye it at least make it so it doesn't wipe of on the customer's hand... Read More | |||

| In the end, I would say this was a good tasting complex cigar that burned horribly. It was a real pain to smoke. In part because of the burn issues, but also because in my opinion a RG of 60 is silly ... Read More | |||
