Review Notes: At least in my book it does! The flavor was toasty at ignition, then developed into a maduro profile with some spiciness on the back of the tongue. About halfway I got distinct wood (cedar? oak?) and fruit tones while the spice went away. It came back in the final third, along with some definite cherry flavors. The finish was awesome: toasty, slightly woody, with predominant creamy chocolate! Very smooth draw, put out tons of smoke, and never developed any of the burn problems others have mentioned. Medium body, mild side of medium strength.

 Review Notes: Smoked this in April 2008. Great start and middle. Very warm, smooth smoke. It had an even burn and a slick, oily wrapper. My best smoking experience to date, though only have been smoking about a year, one cigar per weekend. Will definitely buy again.

 Review Notes: This is a beautiful cigar. Dark, smooth wrapper, box pressed, solid. Wonderful cocao and coffee flavors with a hint of spice. After the halfway point it got a little stronger with oak and leather. Great maduro experience. The only problem was the 2 that had a tight draw. That spoils the smoke for me if I can't loosen it up, and these were difficult. Will try them again and see if that was just a bad 5 pack.

 Review Notes: Not a big fan of Honduran cigars but this was very good for the money spent. Burned evenly throughout the smoke (2/3 of the way) and tasted great. Not sure why the others complained about the burn unless they wern't aged or stored properly.

 Review Notes: Besides needing many touch-ups this was a nice tasting cigar. Spicy early, then cocoa, then spicy late. Medium gray ash, A bit of flake on the wrapper. A couple minor holes also. Would smoke again. Decent price point.
