Here's a little flavor bomb that i forgot that i still had. Its a shame that its the last one because these are really the best cigars that J fuego makes.
I've had this cigar slumbering for close to 8 months at 72% rh and 67 degrees Fahrenheit in my Havana footlocker dungeon.
The burn was a little wonky but caused no problems with only 1-2 minor touch ups for all the originals that i've smoked. The flavor is spicy, woody, earthy, and a dried fruit. The flavor is very distinct and very powerful and i was shocked by how such an ugly duckling could be so enjoyable. Its very well balanced with quite a bit of strength that can surprise you. The strength does seems to decline with time but the flavors remains extremely bold for such a little cigar. This example lasted me 48 minutes and it's a shame that its my last one.
The burn time is consistently around 40 minutes to around an inch left and can be easily nubbed for ~50 minutes. I ash these after 8-10 minutes but the ash usually can last around 3/4 of an inch once you get past the first 1/4 inch.
I bought these as a 25 cigar sampler from Famous and quite frankly it was an excellent purchases that got me to buy the J fuego Vudu jars that are quite frankly just not as good. All the originals have a very similar strength and the flavors are consistently bold. I especially liked the Origen pictured and the Maduro version with the Americana (only one with a band) and Gran reserve being runner ups. The only one i didn't care for was the Sangre de Toro which had a mint type effect on my tongue.
Here's my Vudu collection by J fuego that i'm ashamed to admit that i bought mostly because i wanted the stupid humi-jar with the hipster sticker. J fuego unfortunately is great at blending small ring gauge cigars but his larger sizes lose that special quality that the originals possess.
Here's the link i think they are on clearance and probably won't last much longer:

Oh here's the burn progression:
