A few weeks ago a fellow BOTL gifted me a couple of Tampa Sweetheart No. 4s. I was pretty impressed with them and as a result of others saying the maduros were very good, convinced me to pull the trigger on a bundle of the No. 4 maduros.

Inspecting this smoke found few problems with it. Lighting it produced a nice smooth chocolate flavor.
Image
Burn was pretty even throughout and no corrections were needed. By the way this is my fourth one out of the bundle and I have had no real burn issues with any of them.
Image
Flavors remained consistent throughout. A pleasant, smooth smoke with an occasional hint of cocoa.
Image
Towards the end a hint of spice was noted.

I ended nubbing it soon after this pic. As you can see this no dog rocket, quite the contrary. I found this to be an excellent smoke and considering it to be a bundle cigar I must say one of the best values out there. Definitely a 9.5 out of 10.
