Review Notes:
The cigar is very pretty. It appears well-rolled, with a finely veined
rosado colored wrapper. The bands are interesting. One, a nondescript
Camacho band, is glossy brown and white. The other, a red, white, and
yellow one which says Jamastran Corojo Habano is eerily similar to the
Habanos sticker that ISOM boxes display across the upper right hand
corner. Coincidence? Hmmmm.
Great pre-light draw and taste. The flavor before lighting is spicy and
has a nice tobacco tone.
Here's where it goes funky. The wrapper is apparently a cross between
tobacco and asbestos. It laughed in the face of my blazer. I tried
everything to keep this cigar lit, and ended up very frustrated. As it
burned, the flaky ash exhibited bizzare behavior. Severe tunnelling,
uneven runners, and all around insubordination.
The flavor was strong and one-dimensional. None of the pre-light flavor
made it through, and the cigar left a powerful but flat impression.
Clearly not for the feint of heart, this cigar would be fine if nicotine
is your number one criteria in a cigar.
All my efforts to keep this thing lit resulted in a very unpleasant
taste in the second half. The cigar turned so sour I contemplated
sucking on a lemon just to take the edge off.
Summary: If I had to make a road trip to hell, I would want a suit made
of this wrapper leaf. The large flakes and chunks of ash that fell off
and drifted around my car were quite distracting. The flavor was strong
and unspectacular. On the bright side, I got a decent buzz off it.
Unless someone can convince me I got a dud,
I won't be buying any of these. There are about a hundred better cigars
out there that deliver flavor and don't require the herculean effort to
keep them burning.

Review Notes:
Great Construction, mild on the light-up, hints at its harsher side at the end, but I still never want this little guy to end.

Review Notes:
This cigar looks awesome, the wrapper is oily and it feels rock solid. But the flavor is harsh, sign of a green 'gar. Age these sticks!

Review Notes:
Full bodied with a mix of nutty and spicy flavors. Dark and imposing with a top notch construction. As tasty as any other cigar I've smoked. Not a beginner's cigar.
