Someone kindly gave me this Nicaraguan puro cigar to try a while ago, a box pressed robusto with a 54 ring and about 125 mm long. Nice oily spotted wrapper and a very pretty, stylish band. The predraw was fine and left me with a smooth but yet undefined flavor on my palate.

There isn’t really much to say about the flavors of the cigar except that it was quit sweet with a bit of a liqueur feel to it and a soft smooth leather flavor, but I must say I didn’t pay full attention on the palate smoking this cigar and writing this review, so I might have to smoke another to clear my views on this smoke.

There was more then enough smoke but unfortunately the burn was crooked and I had to light the cigar several times.

Would I buy this cigar again? Yes, on occassion.

I happened across a box of these today at a local B&M. They were buy one, get one free. Normally at $8.95 for an unknown cigar to me, I wouldn't go for it. But since the other one was free, I figured I'd give it a shot. Sometimes it's good to step out of the comfort zone. On initial taste after clipping, I got a sweet flavor,like Ferdie mentioned. Almost reminded me of sweet cherries. I'm only half an inch in, but so far it's not bad. Kinda leaving my mouth dry though.

Not sure if these are made anymore and this was an old box still left around. My little bit of web snooping only brings up old reviews/links.

My review is spot on with Ferdie. Decent smoke overall. Sweet flavor that seemed one dimensional. For a Nicaraugian, I was expecting it to be more full bodied. It seemed more medium to me. Nice change of pace smoke though.
