Review Notes: I was thinking that this would be a basic cigar. I picked them up from Thompson cigars, which I tend to be hesitant to do for reasons of suspect quality from time to time. However, this cigar was excellent in both construction and flavor. It was deeper and smoother than any smoke in this price range I've tried. I could really taste the java and coco flavors. The burn was good and the ash was a nice peppered white. Good buy

Review Notes: This cigar IS as advertised. It is smooth and rich and a nubber to be sure. I did balk at the price tag though. It is good, but not to the point of warranting 7 bucks a stick. There are similar smokes for far less. Try Independencia by La Aurora first.
