I don't know why I waited so long to try one of these. Guess I was waiting for the price to come down. Scored a single on c bid for $5, so I guess I waited for nothing.

Nice looking cigar, heavy in the hand. Cool band.

First few draws are kinda musty and woodsy, very similar to the Clear Havanas or really old machine made Cubans I've tried in the past.

After about 1" it settles into medium "strength", medium bodied maduro flavors, but the aroma coming from the foot as I smoke is really nice.

Flavors stay the same until about halfway, when a nice floral taste comes in. The dominant flavors are now unsweetened cocoa and floral. I'm diggin' it.

About 2.5" it starts to get bitter and I taste some ammonia. I chalk that up to not letting the cigar sit long enough.

Final thoughts...I'd like to try a few more before I give a thumbs up or down.

Thanks for the review. I see these all the time at my B&M and just pass 'em by...Maybe I'll pick one up that seems fully rested.

Very good smoke. I am digging these Pepin Mexican Cuban seed wraps. Mi Amor comes to mind as well.

I went through a box I picked up after meeting one of their guys in Miami and they were a nice change of pace. A little too much "in your face" flavors but enjoyable none the less. If they settled done some after time I believe they would a very nice stick.
