Review Notes: A different tasting cigar, but when the dust (or sand) clears on the North Beach and all is said and done, this is an average cigar. It's worth three bucks, so I can't understand why others dissed it in the value area. It has a sweet-tangy maduro taste with a little complexity. Nothing great, but it grew on me. I really wanted it to do better, so maybe you ought to try one. The burn and draw were at least average and it's not bad looking. For the money you could do better....and worse.
