Review Notes: The maduro is a totally different cigar than the natural. The 1st half, on this box pressed cigar, was straightforward & earthy. A nice unpretentious smoke, but not very complex. Around the 1/3 mark that old cow's butt showed up & hung around throughout the rest of the cigar. At the halfway point, this cigar picked up a very nice smooth spice tone. I found the maduro version of the Lusitania to be a bit smoother & more enjoyable than the natural, but less spicy. TY to Bob L.
