Review Notes: This small but well-made cigar has a good wrapper and a colorful band. No. 13 in Cigar Aficionado's top 25 cigars of 2006. It smokes well with a good draw and burn. It has a deep leathery flavor and a unique peppery spiciness, with some black cherry on the finish. And unlike the more recent C.A.O. releases, the price on these is relatively under control. A very good and satisfying short smoke.
