Just finished the Stradivarius out here on the front porch. Well- it's a beautiful looking cigar with a beautiful burn and a nice white ash. That's about the best i can say about this cigar. Maybe it was me- (long day), but I found the cigar to be very mild and mellow, A little nutty flavor throughout, but no real complexity. For 30 clams, I expected more- a lot more. Don't get me wrong. It's a nice cigar. However, my tastes are now for medium to full cigars with a little more complexity than this. At about halfway, I went and poured 2 fingers of Old Knob to get some flavors in my mouth. Use your $30.00 on a few other smokes is my advice.
