Caveat: I am primarily a Full body/flavor/strength smoker. Not a bad smoke, but not one I would reach for or stock in my humidor. For lighter fare like this I prefer AFuentes Curly Head. This blend is a bit one-dimensional for my taste, but a decent smoke, just my cup of tea. Construction was excellent, smoke was thick and voluminous. I didn't get as much creaminess as other reviewers, but it is there and for me was really the only thing that distinguishes this stick. To each their own, right? That's the beauty of this hobby my BOTLs.
