Well, after last night's Bahia I wasn't to expectant of this one since I picked them up for just around $2.oo each.
Upon, selecting it out of the humi, this box-pressed beauty was firm and upon lightly pinching it it sprang back into shape, was very firm but springy at the same time. 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. Whil 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 at times a 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 saay 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 thru right away...
I definately suggest everyone to try this little beauty.
