Review Notes: An 8.49 average rating out of 104 reviews (as I write my own review) is incredible as it proves just how good and consistent this cigar probably is. I tried 2 Sambas recently and I was thoroughly impressed. I doubt though that I have anything to add that hasn't been written already about this cigar. Very flavorful with an imposing dark appearance, fans of maduros must absolutely love this cigar. Actually my only criticism of it is that as a fan of connecticut shade wrappers the Samba was just a little too bitter sometimes but otherwise it's just an excellent cigar.
