Review Notes: I was in Costco recently and they had boxes of ten of these marked down to $19.95. I ended up with thirty cigars for about $2 each! Beautiful construction, rich pre-light aroma of cedar and a bit of chocolate. Rich, medium bodied with a bit of sweertness and spice. Of course I went back for more, but too late did I realize what a deal these were.

Review Notes: The first puff of smoke from this stick is very reminiscent of its Cuban namesake (which happens to be one of my all-time favorite cigars): cedar and a certain graham cracker sugariness in a very smooth package. As it gets going, this stogie gains some more strength, adding a bit of leather and spice to the profile, but it never loses its sweetness completely. The one real drawback to this smoke was that as I got around halfway in, it started to burn a bit erratically and I found myself puffing a bit too hard to keep it going. That said, I will be buying this again. It stands up favorably in comparison to the Cuban brand of the same name, both in packaging and in content, and it’s a lot of cigar for $6.50. For those who like a warm, sweet-but-not-cloying medium-bodied smoke, this will fit the bill nicely.

Review Notes: This cigar is one of my personal favorites, a smooth cigar with notes of sweet spice, leather and earth undertones. This cigar plumes well and fast when stored in the tubos. After some age, I like to take the cigar out of the tube and put it back in the humi for one month prier to smoking it, I don’t know why, but it really adds to the flavor of the cigar. Enjoy!

Review Notes: Before lighting the cigar had a chocolate like aroma, also a little earthy. Seemed like it would be on the stronger side. It actually turned out to be milder than I thought. The beginning was quite mild, but it picked up as it went along, it gained a nice earthy, nutty flavor. Finished out nicely, smoked it all the way down. Looking forward to trying others from this brand.

Review Notes: A licorice-laced rough start with high pepper spice content, making it unbalanced. O.K. draw was a little loose. Good burn, a bit of wrapper unravel. Lots of blue smoke. Core of dry roasted peanuts, hay field with rough cream and salt hints. Not great for my tastes. Too dry.
