Starts smooth & flavorful, ends a little bitter

I really like the first half of this cigar. Full of flavor and medium body but as it strengthens in the back half of the cigar it turns a bit bitter for my taste. I love full flavored cigars but I want them to maintain their flavor to the end. I don't think this one does.

Starts out mellow, ends with a kick.

This cigar has everything a good Nicaraguan puro should have: rich flavor, great Pepin construction, beautifully smooth wrapper, and good power. It starts out mellow but watch out and smoke it slowly...half way through is turns into a power-house smoke. It's got a similar vibe to the Rocky Patel Decade but with a tighter draw and perhaps a bit more strength.

Great smoke!

I had one of these last night and was blown away. It required no relights or touch ups. When it started to run a little bit it corrected itself. Flavor was excellent from start to finish. It was so good that I went to the local cigar shop and picked up almost a whole box on clearance at $5 a stick which is an absolute steal.

This is a True Nicaruaguan Smoke

This stick starts with a peppery sweetness I have found in most Nicaraguan puros. The draw was perfect, producing enough smoke to start my own rain cloud. Smoke was smooth and creamy with many flavor nuances. Burn was straight, construction was beautiful. Medium in strength and full body in flavor. The only problem I had was this cigar wants to be smoked faster then I prefer, so the burn wanted to dwindle out quickly. Over all I am really satisfied with this smoke. Worth the money!!
