Bdawg says:  I smoked it at Las Vegas Cigar Co. and thoroughly enjoyed it.  The wrapper was mottled brown*, oily and very well constructed.  The draw was easy producing a powdery white ash.  The flavor, smooth,  coffe, cocoa, and oak.  The burn was slow and even.  Very nice.

*I spoke to the manufacturer of this cigar and he explained to me that some manufacturers boil or even dye their maduro wrappers.  This would give it a more uniform color, but he feels the flavor suffers.  They do not boil or dye their cigars.  Resulting in a more mottled color, yet superior flavor.
