Had my first from a box stamped OSU 01 last night. Smoother and milder than i expected. A milky coffee was pronounced to begin then went through two marked changes. A slight floral, dark bean undertone mixed then about halfway earthy flavours came through to quite a full bodied finish. They are not the darkest wrappers I have seen but were a little oily and in good condition. The cigar was just comfortable to draw on, I hope they settle and loosen a little.

I thought this cigar was a waste of money until about a third of the way into it.Mine are MAY 03.At the half way point the smoke and power came around and I wound up smoking to the nub.I like the size of this cigar I just wish the power came on sooner. It reminds me of a two stroke motor coming into the power band a little to late.Wish it had a clutch.
