Smoked this cigar from a bomb sent by a fellow brother.
These spent about 3 weeks resting in my box after the journey over here. I'm not privy to how long they have originally aged, however. This one was definitely different from the Cuesta Reys and CAOs I've tried.
Pre-lit draw seemed a little snug, but didn't present any problems throughout the smoke. This one had a nice coffee flavor with a good bit of spice to it, and seemed to turn a little toasty toward the end. Definitely a nice smooth flavor. Medium smoke output with good burn. Burn did stop on the narrow sides a couple times, but a double or triple draw seemed to work well towards getting it re-lit, so no real touch-ups. Ash held on maybe an inch at a time. Body I'd say was about medium, and it did provide a nice punch toward the end. This one I took to less than an inch before ending.
Overall, a very nice smoke which lasted about an hour, forty minutes. This one has been added to my "smoke again" list, along with the CAO Brazilia Gol.
