Review Notes: I recently purchased a box of these, and I opened it and smoked two of them in the first three days. I can't believe how good they are, especially for their comparative youth...the construction, burn and draw is at least as good as their cousin, the Opus X, hard as a rock, yet a very lush draw...how the heck do they do that? The wrapper on the Don Carlos is med-dark brown, and so smooth that I couldn't find ONE prominent vein. Silky, with a nice oily sheen to it. Lights easily, and stays lit...and starts with luscious floral notes that stay throughout the stick...as it progresses, it adds some nice spice notes, with some white pepper as well as surprisingly complex tobacco flavors that show outstanding depth, especially (again) for it's age. The boxes of ten are all coffin-enclosed smokes, (in both the Don Carlos Robusto and the Carlitos Double Robusto), and the packaging is extremely nice. Each box is numbered, with a cert. of authenticity in the box. The Don Carlos for 2005 only made 400 boxes of ten, the Carlito 900 boxes of ten, and they also released a sampler, 1000 boxes of four: one each of the 2005, plus two 2004 Churchills whicxh are VERY hard to find now. (I just followed an auction for one of the 2004 sticks, and it sold for 76.00) I ended up buying 6 boxes of the Don Carlos and 4 of the Carlitos, and a few samplers. I am not the type to spend this much money on cigars because they look pretty, and consider myself lucky to have found these. I would recommend this cigar to lovers of Opus X, and, of course, collectors, as 400 boxes don't spread around too far! Try www.coronacigar.com as they have some of each of the three 2005 offerings.
