Nice smooth mild smoke, went well with morning coffee, good draw, burn started off even with solid white ash unfortunately part way through the first third the barrel started swelling and it split open good 1/4″ and wrapper came loose and wouldn’t burn causing continuous touch ups of unburnt wrapper, the burn did stay fairly even underneath but the ash became loose and flakey and the swelling and split kept moving forward till it reached the band which held it together until it was removed and split immediately resumed. This is the first of 5 I got to try, will put the rest in humidor and give them several months and see if that will resolve what I believe is a high humidity issue. I enjoyed it other than the construction issue, if humidor time resolves the issue it will make the get again list.

Update, gave them another go, and had no construction issues, seams nearly invisible, nice give to the squeeze, good draw, burned even and held a good 1 1/2″ of ash, smooth mild smoke, creamy, cedar, nutty, and a little sweetness, great morning smoke, makes the get again list
