Excellent cigar. Smokes beautifully. Straightforward attract, laser sharp burn off each of the way to the nub. The cigar has good smoke output and a pleasant aroma. The double band makes for an exceptionally desirable presentation. This is the prime shelf cigar and considered one of my favorites. My favorite? https://bookmarkspring.com/story15898982/an-unbiased-view-of-backwoods-saint-john
