These are always dependable. Good burn and draw. Firm construction. Classic Ecuadorian habano wrapper and flavors. I have yet done try to the aged version and look forward to it.
A straight forward cigar. Notes consist mostly of sweet cedar. The draw is light and easy, and the burn stayed fairly level throughout. Solid construction. Nothing over the top but a consistent cigar overall.
Good draw, good ash. Stayed lit and didn't need a touchup. Unlit grass smell. Burned unevely, but not conoe. Taste was lacking, except for last third which started showing promise. I'm dissapointed overall. Jamison was not a good pairing (my fault). Stick may have benefited from stronger whiskey or and earthy Scotch.
I really like the band on this CAO Pilon. It's pretty cool how it list the wrapper, binder, and filler. I get a light woody flavor with hits of bread or cracker. Nothing really bold but a good smoke nevertheless.
