This was a replacement for a damaged cigar from a previous order. It took several emails and almost a month to get it but this cigar was in better condition. The smoke itself was good. Notes of hay, coffee, and sunflower seeds. There was still some pepper on the retrohale despite being being an 18 year old cigar. 50/50 on ordering again because of previous construction issues and the cigar may be a few years past its prime. Curious about other vault offerings.
