Review Notes: Looks great, with a nice red, white & blue band and smooth wrapper. Very firm and heavy in the hand. The wrappers are a bit fragile and prone to splitting, but even when this happens the cigar does not unravel. Draw was okay on these but a little on the tight side, even cut far up the shoulder. I would say mild-medium in flavor and body; some very nice spice, but little sweetness or "twang." The burn was not even, and has required touchups with the lighter. Also, small flakes of ash fall continually on my shirt, which I dislike. Made in U.S.A. plus plenty of nicotine saves the day on these. I will give the few I have left another year or so and see if the burn improves. From Pepin, I much prefer the 601 green label and Tatuaje.
