Review Notes: I was given a few of these last year as a gift and they have been hiding away in my humidor for the last 18 months. I finally decided to put one to the test, in the past I have found Cubans to be slightly overated, I find the best cigars are coming out of Nicaragua. But I have to say I was quite impressed. From start to finish this Piramides was well worth the wait. I couldn't have asked for a smoother draw and more even burn. The taste was mellow and smooth to the nub, never harsh. I wish I had more but after what I was told they cost I can't see smoking them but on a very special occasion. They may be expensive but I would fork out the $30 every once in a while just to enjoy the smoke.
