Rustic in appearance, but surprisingly smooth and tasty with an light, herbal quality. The overall flavor was cedary and id not get much stronger or turn bitter in the last 3rd. Last inch had a menthol-like taste, which suffered its taste rating, but this is a good everyday value cigar in a Mexican blend of higher-than-average quality.
