Savinelli - 20th Anniversary - Magnum

Length:  6"
Ring size:  60

Bdawg says:  Savinelli is best known as a fine pipe manufacturer.  And used to be a fairly popular cigar brand.

The wrapper is medium brown, oily and well constructed.  The draw is easy producing a dirty gray ash.  The flavor is smooth, coffee, cedar, and a slight sweetness on the finish.  The burn was slow and even.  

However there was a slight splitting problem with the wrapper.  I was enjoying this cigar at That's a Great Cigar Shoppe in Schenectady, NY.  Since the wrapper had splitting problems, they gave me a replacement.  The replacement smoked perfectly.  I will give this cigar the benefit of a doubt.
