I'll do a mini review. Construction and burn absolutely perfect. Didn't need to cut it more than once. I've not smoked a better made cigar than this. Flavour was mild throughout. Silky smooth, no harshness whatsoever. You can tell this was made with top quality tobacco. As far as I know, these were released in 2011 and rolled with tobacco from 2005 harvest. In conclusion, a still highly enjoyable cigar, but I cannot help but think how good these would have been upon release or soon after.

The stick I had was filled perfectly and felt great in the hand, really good size IMO. Construction was spot on, just the perfect resistance and smoked flawlessly. Lovely white ash.
Flavour wise it was pretty crazy too, mine had a very salt/mineral flavour throughout and the initial inch or so I could taste the saltiness on my lips, more so than any cigar I've ever had. It's also a surprisingly strong cigar for something that lacks any spice or pepper at all, it catches up to you in the final third!
If you had to find a fault, for me it would be a lack of flavour journey, but tbh it's a really solid smoke beginning to end and if it ages in the right direction I think it has the possibility of becoming a legendary cigar for both its flavour and history.
