Review Notes: I love the darkness of this cigar - nearly black - beautifully constructed, but agreably veiny. Although the cigar burned well, and the flavor was excellent - I can not help but mention that this cigar gave me the worst aftertaste of any cigar I've ever smoked - I tasted this thing for two mornings! Normally I would not allow this to impact my rating - however, because it is the worst ever aftertaste, I took my overall smoking experience down by one. The value was good - I think I paid $7.50 and the flavor was on par with other maduros - its not a Padron Anniversary, but I believe its a step up from a Perdomo Maduro (my opinion). I'd smoke one again - on a camping trip far from the wife!
