    The cigar is fully packed and a bit hard to the feel, resulting in a tight-ish draw. Great opening flavors, though.

    The flavors are pretty bold, so that's a good thing. The tight draw, not so much.

    Also the tight roll, while not entirely disastrous, did negatively impact the experience.
