Upon, selecting it out of the humi, this box-pressed beauty was firm and rolled very nicely. The wrapper while very dark had just a smattering of very thin veins, a very smooth wrapper and the veins it had ran the length of this chocolaty looking cigar.

Once lit, this cigar started right off with a spicy, yet earthy taste… which hinted at a peppery and chocolaty taste. It burned very evenly and held a very long ash. While the cigar started out med./full as it got to the halfway point it became a very smooth but full tasting cigar.

At times I could detect a nutty and coffee taste to it mixed in with the pepper and earthy flavor it started with but stronger on the finish.

For such an inexpensive cigar I would say this one could easily become my everyday cigar just for the price alone…

I think what helped open it up from the beginning was I used a v-cutter on it that allowed it to draw more fully and allow more of the taste to come through right away…

I definitely suggest everyone to try this little beauty. You will not regret it.
