Review Notes: I can't taut this amazing cigar enough.....what a smoking experience! although, you will find a sub par one on occasion because of cuba's quality control issues in recent years. Nonetheless, when you get a good one the burn, flavor, and aroma are quite simply.....superb! period

Review Notes: Title sums it up. Medium flavor with hints of maple, peppermint, and dairy. The finish has short powerful burst of cured tobacco that deadend on the palate. Nice smoke but inconsistent burn takes away from the experience somewhat.

Review Notes: Just bought 10 of these from Cigar One - A special deal for a box from 2001 (Box Code PEL MAR 01). Having smoked Cohiba Siglo VI, Punch Churchills and Montecristo Edmundos for the last few months the No.2 had some competition. But, what a delight. I know that as a 2001 stick that has been properly kept I am probably not comparing like with like. But I must say, that in my opinion it was superior to all the above. A sweet, nutty flavour and a great head of smoke... just the way I like it. I also like consistency. I think that cigers that change their character through there burn are overrated. I like the taste to mellow, but not radically change and the No 2 was very consistent. A smoke of a good hour and a bit. Lovely!

Review Notes: I wrote a review last month based upon cigars I smoked several years ago. Just got a box in Vienna, Austria, produced in 2004. Have smoked three so far. The first one was a disappointment; same problems as before. Extremely tight draw that allowed no flavor, was too much work, and therefore gave no pleasure. The second and third ones, however, reminded me why I loved these cigars in the first place (you tend to remember the good ones and not the bad ones). Unbelieveable complex, unique flavors. The finish is amazing - lingers ever so gently. Great draw with lots of smoke. One of the best ever. Really, this is what a cigar is supposed to be like. So I felt my first review did not do this stick justice. So you know the drawbacks (pun intended!). If you buy a single give it a very light squeeze all over first to confirm the construction, i.e., that its not too tightly rolled. If you buy a box, be prepared to accept that a few (you hope!) will be tossed aside owing to quality control. Once you cut one, test the draw. If its very tight, just toss it and go on to the next one...its not worth the frustration..yeah, I know it hurts. Just means you are essentially paying for a box of 20 not 25!

Review Notes: For being so young I was amazed at the complexity and quality of this cigar. The date on the box is Nov. 04, so only two months aging. Ash, burn, and draw were flawless, and the aroma and taste were so perfectly Cuban. I was not expecting such a high rating but man did they deliver. I can only image what these will do with age.
