Review Notes: ...what an awful cigar! I should have learnedfrom my experience with the Punda Milia. I guess I'm not a fan of the Cameroon filler, for starters. Great wrapper, not so great filler, in my opinion. On to the review. Appearance was okay and pre-light aroma was earthy, but not very strong. On the first few puffs, you knew that this was a strong cigar. I could almost taste the nicotine on this, and it was about as full-bodied a stick as you can get. Draw was a little tight, but not enough to irk me. The taste was earthy. Not just earthy - like dirt. Very full-bodied dirt, and dirt that was one-dimensional, at that. I was not enjoying it. About an inch again I a slight taste of dill (you read that right; dill) which I had never experienced in a cigar before. i was thoroughly not enjoying this, but determined to persevere in the chance that this would get better and that I might experience that chocolate/coffee flavor other reviewers got. Didn't happen. Now, here's where the cigar really shined in it's crappiness. About 2/5 in, I could NOT keep this lit. It would start to tunnel, and then go out. I would relight, it would tunnel, go out. After the fifth time, I gave up. Not a pleasant experience at all, andI can assure you, I will not be buying this one again.

Review Notes: I was very pleased when I lit this cigar for the first time and got a chance to enjoy it's pleasant flavors. This cigar smokes as good as some top name smokes that have been around a long time and should get a good report from everyone that smokes them.

Review Notes: Nothing but a harsh dog rocket. In just glad my tabaccoist gave me the two he did. I gave the thing a chace but couldn't get past the burn flavor. Extremely well constructed and a nice even burn but I wouldn't buy these. It's the old crow of cigars

Review Notes: Letting the Don Lino, Duma sit about a year, improved it in several ways. It was always a fine looker, but this baby had a wonderful burn even as I smoked it in the rain as I hiked with two black dogs through the overflowing streams in the valley and ridges of eastern West Virginia. The taste was also better, with a smoother core and a palatable aftertaste. This is a bargain and a plain good cigar. I smoked this stick way past the band. By the way, the band is pretty awesome, gives you the feel of Africa. I'd recommend these if you can get a good price and have the humidor space to let them age.

Review Notes: Finally I can taste the cocoa in a cigar. All these reviews I read about different tastes and I could never taste the cocoa. Well here it is. I didn't have any of the burn or ash problems everyone else seems to have. The taste was great but it got harsh at the last couple inches. Nothing too bad but harsh none the less. I also got alot of spice throughout this stick. I liked it.
