Review Notes: This cigar consisted of a nice, dark, oily maduro wrapper which did have some veins. It is a mellow, medium-bodied smoke consisting of an Earthy core with some cedar. Voluminous smoke producing tingle in the back of throat. Needed to correct the burn a couple times, but overall construction was good and this was a solid, well-balanced cigar, with just a dusting of cocoa on the palate...but not much more. Not an overly complex smoke, but still a good cigar...especially for the $3.40 I paid. I will rate value on MSRP though.
