From the cigar Maker:
We have yet to meet a cigar lover that didn't appreciate this cigar - even those that usually like a stronger bodied cigar. It's mild but smokes like a million bucks and you'll appreciate the construction. We've seen many smoked down to the finger tips and have the burns to prove it!
