Review Notes: I smoked this cigar with a coke about a month out of the box and in my opinion it rivaled the padron 1926 series as my favorite smoke. Complex from the beginning with a rich cream taste that progressed until it was overpowered by spice and notes of cedar in the final third, always against a light coffee background. The beginning was marked with a slight sweet taste which tapered off with the end of the first third. Quintessential cuban taste and aroma, never overpowering with a perfect draw. The wrapper was beautifully smooth and flawless and the size of this cigar allows the smoker to appreciate its progression of flavors over the hour and a half to two hours it takes to smoke.
