A nice mild cigar that was well constructed and paired nicely with my spiced rum. Burn was even with an easy draw. I would get another to pair with a craft stout that had coffee notes to see how the vanilla works with it.

Oooh! Lively, mild, and sweet, with a bit of spice. The vanilla is so warm and inviting, not at all cloying.
While I had my doubts about the flavouring, the White Rascal gets great reviews, so I took a chance. I got notes of warm vanilla, cinnamon, molasses, light tobacco, a tiny bit of pepper, and milk chocolate, with a most agreeable bitterness underneath, like dark-roasted coffee, to give it depth. The balance of flavours changed as I smoked, with the vanilla consistent throughout. Never harsh, and never fake, not even when it got too hot because I puffed too much. Even burn, lovely ash, easy draw. I’d recommend this to anyone, beginner or not, for a lighter yet still hefty and delicious smoke.
