Review Notes: Extremely well constructed. In the humidor since April, 2006. Flavor best described as dark, freshly-ground coffee, very dark chocolate and a hint of pecans. A very unique cigar flavor and definitely strong--somewhat high in nicotine. Ash not as strong as some others, but this definitely was not a distraction. Burned a bit one-sided part way through, that was corrected by a quick light of the torch. Certainly better than any Cuban Cohiba (a large sample there) to date. Not sure it is worth the extra cost, but it is/was a fantastic cigar. Smoked down to the “nub” and very enjoyable to the end.
