5 x 46
I ended up with a single of these, somehow. Probably a drunk Cigar Page order. I remember wanting to try them cuz there's this dude on YouTube who exposes vendors of fake Cuban cigars, and he said they're one of the only NCs he smokes. Since we all know what type of snobby, uppity, judgemental, pinky extended while they smoke mfs CC smokers are, that's quite an endorsement.
Well constructed, nice draw, crooked burn. Starts out with a nice flavor. No harshness through the nose.
No joke, this is one of those NCs that *almost* nails that CC flavor. Like if you handed me one of these, told me it was a custom roll, and gave me some BS story about them containing half a leaf of Cuban tobacco, I'd probably believe it. Baking spice and floral are the dominant flavors. In the second half, anise on the finish. Burn gets better around halfway.
Overall, quite a nice little cigar. I'd love to try this blend in a lancero or lonsdale.

Great review Mark. I've only smoked one of these and had a similar experience.
Damn good cigar! I just bought two Don Reynaldo 70th which is a 6 1/2x48 belicoso.
I wanted to try a bigger size like you did, so I'm hoping for the best on the 70th!
