Review Notes:
Big fan of the 90 & 92, so I was excited to try it, esp since it looked like another RP favorite, the Edge Corojo. Silky smooth, veinless coffee brown wrapper, packed tight with tobacco. Except for a crooked burn for the first half, I never experienced any of the construction problems others have mentioned: great draw, nice volume of smoke. The taste, however, was a big disappointment. None of the complexity and smoothness of the Vintage lines. In fact, this was bitter & tangy from the beginning, kinda dough-like with a tart apple fruitiness. Picked up a tiny bit of spice near the band, but it was too little too late. Mild strength, medium body & a short, light finish, but with a very unpleasant, tarry aftertaste. Overall I thought I smoked a cheap Honduran blend, certainly not worth MSRP. Very disappointing.
