Review Notes:Great smoke no BS. It took 9m months for this gar to regulate itself but now it's as good as any I have. A great cigar no matter how you call it. Smooth power and nice flavors for your enjoyment. If you see these for sale buy'em.
Review Notes:I didn't get the greatest of flavors from this cigar, but I got a hell of a buzz. The poor wood flavor of the box ruined the pre-light aroma. Damn I'm thinking, I bought 3 boxes of these things @ $2.10 a pop. Then I lit one up and knew my $2.10 was well spent. The taste was much better than the smell and the strength was medium-full, much more full toward the first band. It will take some time for my cedar blocks to displace the shitty wood aroma left by the box, and hopefully enhance the taste. I'm thinking these would be fantastic right out of the box if they had been packed in cedar. I think it will be worth the wait. The burn is perfect and the draw full. Stay tuned.

Review Notes:I bought this as part of a sampler pack of various Bahias, and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor and quality. The burn was excellent, and started out toasty and smooth with occasional toffee bits. Around halfway it developed a decided coffee/cocoa overtone and built in strength to the end, and I almost burnt my fingers smoking the last bit. An excellent, if expensive cigar.
