I found this to be a very good cigar that is mild in strength and mild to medium in body. It’s not going to be your usual creamy Ecuadorian Connecticut. It’s going to deliver notes of cedar and grass. There is a nice butterscotch / caramel / nut flavor that floats in and out as well.

Overall an enjoyable cigar. It’s one I’d definitely recommend a fiver for.
