Review Notes: but not great. This is a solid cigar, with good construction, I can't deny it that. The flavor is very spicy, with an almost overly aggressive spice at the beginning. The cigar settled down a bit for the remainder. Unfortunately the taste and odor hung around for an inordinate amount of time...and was not pleasant. A good cigar, but in my opinion doesn't even compare with the Don Carlos line from Fuente.
