Review Notes: Many may disagree, but in the last few years I've heard lots of chatter indicating that the DR, Honduras, Nicaragua, etc... have caught up with Cuba, I don't buy it. Now, there are a lot of very nice non cuban sticks out there, Ashton VSGs, Diamond Crown Maximus, Don Peppins, just to name a few, but well made Cubans with great quality control are still king. This is now one of my favorites lasted about an hour with great burn and draw and the flavor was outstanding. Typical creaminess that non cubans just can't duplicate, with hints of honey, leather and chocolate and spice, just tremendous with great complexity. Have ten more in my Humi and will definitely purchase more. As long as the quality control is tight, you cannot go wrong with this cigar.
