Review Notes: I've read some reviews on other sites for this cigar and I was shocked that some find this smoke harsh (it was very strong upon lighting but within a few puffs it settled down). It's one of the most mild cigars I have ever smoked. That being said, this cigar was a little too mild. I found hints of wood like the Tabacalera site promised, but there were also hints of coffee in the aftertaste. All in all a good relaxing smoke for $5, but don't expect overwhelming flavors.
