Review Notes: Our price for this cigar is $14.95 (BC, Canada). For the price it's the best cigar I've had. Has quality fallen off after it got Cigar Afficianado's top cigar in 2008... due to the demand that review created perhaps? I wasn't blown away. The appearance of the wrapper and band was gorgeous. Mine had a stiff draw. There was more flavor than other cigars of its price range, but I wasn't detecting the complexity of my favorite Robustos. When compared with HDM Epicure No. 2′s, Cohiba Robusto’s, Partagas Serie D No. 4′s and Monte Edmundo’s, the savings of $12.00/stick (CAD) may still not earn them a place in my humidor.
