Review Notes: one of the first cigars in which I taste all the flavors I have read about.Expresso and Caramel which did not change much throughout the cigar. Just got a bit stronger toward the end. I have not smoked any Cubans but if they are better than this one , then I want them. And I want many of them. Great construction. No soft spots. Great ash and did not need any relights or corrections. Great draw with plenty of floral smelling smoke. i did not like the bulk of Fuente products. Have smoked the Curly Head and the Montesino brands. Like some of the Hemingway products but this is the best. Worth the price. Wonder if the naysayers of this cigar got some cigars which had not been properly stored?? Always a lot of variables!!!
