Review Notes: What a great gift. This wonderful cigar had a nice light earthy core that was very palatable and not harsh at all. It had a nice subtle spice about it too. It wasn’t quite as smooth as the Pinar P3000, but it was still a very nice medium bodied smoke. The ash was stacked, dark grey and very sturdy. It only had to be ashed twice the entire smoke. The draw was absolutely perfect and the smoke was thick and full of flavor. The burn was pretty even, but it began to burn towards the middle during the last third. The finish was very relaxing. It’s hard to beat a cigar that is given to you, especially when the cigar is from that oh so close yet oh so unreachable island of Cuba. I am always weary of Cubans, but this was definitely genuine. I would definitely smoke one of these again, especially if it was a gift.
