Review Notes: Picture me on the cover of some cigar magazine schmokin this black beauty. What a looker the Samba is with it's dark Brazilian wrapper that makes the green and yellow band really standout. Too bad the taste doesn't quite measure up to the other aspects of this gar. It's very spicy for the first inch, then medium for an inch, then a pleasant, but unremarkable mildness for the rest of the cigar.
