Review Notes: This cigar in my mind is the definitive Cuban smoke out at the moment. If you have been smoking for a while like I have, every new smoke is a welcomed experience. I had 3 of these in my humidor, and I decided to light one up with my best friend Matt over some rum and beers last weekend. Matt had a Monty Edmundo (another great new Cuban). As for the Series D No. 4, Cuban twang, sweet graham crackers, and spice are what I remember. I like this cigar because for it has the strength of a Cohiba Magico and the finesse of a Montecristo No. 2 together the two work hand in hand. The robusto size lasted about 45-50 mins, and I nubbed it. This is the type of cigar that all others should be measured by. Whether you are smoking a Cuban or not, cheap or expensive, if you have tried this beauty, afterwards, the way you look at flavor, power, smoothness, and quality all changes. When I have the opportunity to buy these again, its going to be a box. Normally, a cigar of this price would scare me, but truthfully, never smoking this again scares me a hell of a lot more.

Review Notes: This was a great cigar - much better than the one I tried a couple years ago. It was medium-bodied and the flavor was classic Cuban. It was quite a bit stronger than I expected as well. About half way through, I was wishing I had eaten a bigger dinner before firing this one up! All in all, an excellent smoke.

Review Notes: I liked this smoke. The first impression was of pronounced well seasoned wood followed by a small bit of salty caramel and as it got about half way I thought it got a little spice at the end too. Still the dry aged woody taste was the main component. There are certainly more complex mixtures, you know where the flavors are either all present in equal measures or where they even jostle in order and strength, but I found this one really good and pretty unique in the bargain. No sour musky taste here...A good clean finish was noted. Construction was very good as it drew well, burned evenly, and my ash was in excess of 2 inches before it dropped. I punched this particular one so I could really judge how easy the draw would be and, like I've already said, it was an easy draw with ample smoke. If you want a Cuban cigar that really is unique in a very nice way I heartily recommend this.

Review Notes: Cedary and peppary mix of flavors. Very creamy and smooth throughout. August 2007 was a great month for production. I have smoked a box from this month and am tucking 2 away for use by my future self! Guys, quit comparing these to the EL from the past...the production cigars are no where near any of the EL. Worth every penny of 9 bucks! I belive these will soon be a 9 out of 10 (10 being the padron 1926 no.9 and no.1)

Review Notes: Its a mild cigar (jul-07)- but otherwise superior. Intoxicating aroma and an awesome woody finish. Burned down to the nub perfectly.
