Once the glass tube is opened, you get a burst of Grand Marnier that smells incredible. I spent 5 minutes just enjoying the smell of the cigar. Construction is great. It burned great. No touch ups needed and the flavors were consistent. I got a nutty flavor with a little spice mixed with the subtle fruit flavor of Grand Marnier. its now my favorite! Remember the tobacco is not dipped in Grand Marnier but aged above wooden barrels of it. Excellent Stick!!
