Review Notes: I smoked 2 of these earlier in the year and was not very impressed. Recently I decided to try em again and I just can't believe how good they are! I don't know if my tastes have changed, if the first 2 that I had were off, or what. I now put these in as part of my top 10 favorites. There is so much complexity going on here. It is, however, considerably milder that the Pepin Cuban Classic and most of, if not all, his other cigars. There is spice from beginning to the end and a sweetness that is rare and somewhat exotic IMHO. Like all these*%#% cigars, I wish they were cheaper. The maduro in this size is a pepper bomb but is also very good.
