 Cedar notes, that creamy sweetness. Is there that nuttiness? It's just a wonderful stick. We have had zero issues with it. I've had to touch it up maybe once or twice, but that's just putting the stick down for long periods of time. Yeah, at that price point, you're looking at somewhere around $27 a stick. I would definitely have one or two of these in my humidor. Not an everyday smoke by any stretch of the imagination, but a good special occasion product.
