Review Notes: Pepper dominate the first half of the cigar and once into the sweet spot the delicious traste of mud mixed with pine straw kicks into gear as the burn moves nice but no where near the complex taste of an actual premium cuban. Dont be fooled by the gorgeous packagaing. The first half of the cigar is very peppery, medium full to full body but doesnt rest too heavy on nthe stomach. The sweet spot of the cigar gives off some nice leather tones however it has a muddy taste to it. THis is a incely packaged cigar that is Not a bouquet of various tastes. After the pepper domination the muddiness will take over along with notes of damn pine straw on the finish. Overrated cigar from a taste standpoint as other Don Pepins have far more taste than these cuban pretenders.
