Humidor Primary

Very good build quality! I have seen sticks that cost 3 times more that were in worse shape. The satin finish on the band is a nice touch. The smoke is very mild, even as a beginner i could retro-hale without any irritation. This smoke is for when you just want to unplug and take a calm cruise, no taste surprises, just a mild smooth smoke

I bought this stick on a whim, having the name back in my head. If anyone still thinks the Dunbarton Sobremesa is sweet tipped, they should taste this cigar. As soon as it touches the lips intense intense sugar. It is a well processed cigar, looking like a small firecracker with the pigtail on. The draw is good, but the flavor is something that either you like or you don't. Along with the intense sweetness, there is spice on the tongue and lips. interesting experiment, but not one that I will repeat.

Having smoked through a half a box already, i am happy with the consistency the cigar offers. No bumps/pits on the cigars, a bit rough wrapper with defined veins, and a firm grey ash. Slight chocolatey smell, and medium strength smoke with good volume. I am resting these at 69%, but i noticed they burn better after spending a night in my etui. Burn is overall straight, the cigar gets a bit stronger on the final third, but keeping a consistent aroma. For 5.9 Eur a stick, one cant go wrong with this cigar.

Beautiful wrapper, held nice ash and burn through the first third. Near the end of the second third it started burning crooked and eventually put it self out.

A nice presentation, clean Connecticut wrapper. Unfortunately the wrapper cracked on the cut, no issue with taste but uncomfortable mouth feel when smoking. his cigar is on the stronger side for a Connecticut, but gave good creamy smoke and lots of it. Draw was a bit tight for my taste but not a showstopper. All in all a nice mid day enjoyment.

The Intemperance has an interesting presentation, with the minimalistic band and the binder "peeking" on the foot. The wrapper is a bit gritty and with thin veins. Cold smeel does not give a lot of sweetens, same as the light up. When it comes to flavor, seetnes was absent for me, the taste reminded me of coffee. It kept that flavor profile throughout the smoke with pepper coming on the retro hale in the final third. Mine had an uneven burn that i had to touch up multiple times.

Having had a great experience with the Robusto version, i was eager to try out this vitola. Unfortunately my stick is falling short. Straight out of the cellophane i notice the cap has started to come off. The cut is made and i am getting very little cold draw resistance, which points to construction issues :(. Sure enough after i lit it up i notice a 4mm hole in the center of the cigar, just about the size of the opening. Despite the very light draw, i am getting good smoke amounts and a mild/medium strength, for me this version packs a bigger punch than the Robusto. Once the tapered end burned through the draw improved slightly, but still too loose. Throughout of the first third i can't find the sweetness i was getting from the Robusto. The ash is firm and compact, and the burn is straight. I will stick to the Robusto format for my next purchases.

Small nicely rolled cigar without a cap, so no cutting needed. Draw is consequently a bit loose but not an issue. This is a small cigar, but if you don't respect it its gonna knock you on your butt. I was feeling light headed for a while after smoking it a bit too fast. On light up i got plenty of pepper, but after a bit it subsided and maple like sweetness with a bit of leather took the stage. No issues in burning, around 30 min of smoking time, but be sure you don't smoke it on an empty stomach!

If i could choose one word to describe this cigar i would say "Hairy". The wrapper is covered in small fibers that other than look peculiar do not seem to bother. I really hope i got a dud because the draw in my cigar was tight, it had a 3mm hole in the middle (it was rolled that way) and produced very little smoke while getting noticeably hot. I have one more in my humidor, hopefully that one will be better, but for now, i cant recommend it. Update: The secon stick performed much better. Good construction, even burn, and plenty of smoke. Not experienced enough to talk about flaovr notes, but i enjoyed the second stick much more than the first

Starts off mild but strong near the final third. For the price, great smoke! This is my daily driver now.

Starts off sharp, but mellows down after 5mm. Great short smoke

The stick has somewhat of a rustic design, with a muted wrapper color. The cold smell reminded me of a barn or cellar. My stick had a bit of a tight draw, and the second cut broke the wrapper. Starts off mild at light up, no pepper, just a reminder of black coffee. After the first third pepper joins in the mouth as well as retro hale. Coffee and Pepper are the dominant flavors for me. The burn did require touching up after the first third, the ash was grey and stable. At 4.7eur I wouldn't buy it again.
