Review Notes: SLB cab Oct. '06 TBO. Reddish-brown wrapper, smooth and silky. Pre-light scent of jasmine. Upon lighting - herbaceous tobacco flavor with a little toasty quality. 1/2 inch in it becomes warm and toasty. One inch in there is some pepper and nutmeg, very subtle. A definite rainforest, damp-earth feeling pervades this cigar. It's like taking a hike through the El Yunque forest in Puerto Rico. The flavor is exotic and rich. Inch and a half, the speckled gray ash is hanging on and I'm feeling a slight buzz. 2nd half and this just gets more and more rich with musky tobacco fullness. I have a real affection for these cigars. Packed with Cuban tobacco depth. This is not a complex cigar but the rich, heady taste makes me forget about anything else.

Review Notes: I was given a 25 cab as a gift(specifically asked for JL sel.#2 after reading reviews). I have never encountered(cigar smoker for more then 20 years)such sloppy, to say the least craftmanship. The cigars were just thrown randomly in the box regardless of colour,size and texture. The colour shade ranges from green to pale yellow and yellow/red with a couple of browns. In all honesty i NEVER imagined a cab could turn out like this . Also, some cigars are smooth,others are coarsely textured and out of curiosity a couple were 48 RG instead of 50, which makes it a hermoso if i am not mistaken. Since i requested it and was given the cab six months ago i couldn't return it, i said ok what is done is done and lit the first one(yellow/reddish shade,robusto size!) and guess? The smoke was good..Not exceptional but a damm good old fashioned cuban smoke,light to medium i would say, with a slight burn problem,leaving me wondering how the green will be like..

Review Notes: Some problems with burn and draw and the cigar came apart at the end. That being said, this has a moderately complex earthy woodsy, very light spice and great medium smoke aroma.

Review Notes: Started out with a woody, earthy taste but quickly tuned pleasantly sweet with kind of a vanilla like flavor. Draw was excellent but inexplicably got a tad tight (not badly) from time to time but then recovered. Started to burn uneven towards the last third. Very non cuban like white ash. Overall, extremely good.

Review Notes: Looks fine aside from a single water spot. Also had a soft spot about halfway down. Straight-forward tobacco flavor, medium body. A little earth and just hints of the grass noted by other reviewers. Not in the same class as a RASS, RC or even a VR Famoso, but a solid morning or afternoon habano at a fair price.
