A humerous note first. I recieved the box of cigars at work.
The box had " Hand Made by Cubans" stamped on the bottom. My friends were amazed ..Cubans? I told them yes, but the Cubans lived in Miami.
I thought it was funny.
A 7 x 50, this was smoked right off the truck, I think the cigar was a little humid.
The cigar was firm and had nice construction, only a few small veins in the wrapper.
A nice triple cap on the head.
It took about an hour and 10 minutes to smoke. I couldn't take longer because it tried go out if I did.
The burn was good , never needing a touch up.
There was a constant pepper taste all the way through, increasing slightly at the end.
The ash was mostly grey on the outside with little black streaks.
The inside ash was a dirty brown/grey.
It was smooth from start to finish, never harsh or bitter.
I was really expecting more complexity, especially for the price.
The smoke volumn never got above what I would call medium and I would call the cigar a medium body.
I hope it gets better with a little rest.
I'm curious about anyone else's experience with this brand.
