Not every Regional Edition is successful, and sometime the condition of the cigar does not help at all, when I Smoked this cigar it was over stored (over humid) wet from the inside, the burn is slow and I had to light it every time I let it rest, and the smoke is less
For me it is nice that I have tried it

Private collection.
Location: This review was made indoors in a cigar lounge.
Wrapper: Milk chocolate, oily but a little rough texture and tiny veins.
Construction: Firm even feel all over.
Cold draw: Cedarwood and hay.
1st third: Starts with a dark espresso note, followed by 60% milk chocolate and some wood in the background.
2nd third: Keeps the same flavours.
The burn: Burns hasty and fairly sharp with a white-ish stable and firm ash.
Smoke: Voluminous white smoke with a medium heat feel on the tongue and a light draw.
3rd third: Gets a little sharper, definitely no chocolate notes anymore more of a coffee and dry wood.
Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a full strength profile. A okey cigar, wouldn’t buy it again, I mean for 5 years of aging it should have become much smoother but it’s still strong.
Result: In my book this is an 85 point cigar.
