Review Notes: I'm a big maduro fan, but i'm also a big RP fan, so i thought i'd give the 99 shade a try. The cigar had a light-natural color. It was fairly smooth and vein-less. Had a pre-light smell of flint. A slow and even burn, solid white ash with a coned furnace. Smoke had sweet smells of nutmeg and cinnamon. Tastes of hay, glue, ginger, creme, vanilla, wet paper, and flutters of coconut oil. All in all above average. Probably won't try again just based on my tastes. I can't fault it for what it is in it's category, just not a huge fan of this category of cigar.
