Each cigar has a separate label under cigar band that shows you its number of production and verifies its authenticity.

It begins to burn a bit unevenly and needs to be re-lit. It continues to burn with fuller flavor of strong cedar and roasted nuts. The dryness sits on the back of the palate. </span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Handwriting - Dakota; min-height: 18.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Handwriting - Dakota"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">This cigar would do well with a nice vintage port or a dark Belgian ale. The taste lingers a bit after the smoke, but not in a bad way. There is a bit of sweetness.</span></p>Cigar Mastershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04497512357915390105noreply@blogger.com
