Thought I had a dog, tried another, same after taste. The taste started early with the first third and never went away. To describe it as anise isn't quite descriptive enough. It's almost a nauseating after taste that stays with you for awhile. Is it the way I store my sticks, don't think so, I've taken the La Duena's and stored them separately in their original box.
I love most all Don Pepin - My Father products and ordered a couple of these to try. Wow - great flavor profile indeed. For me I think it tastes like a marriage of a JJ and an Oliva V. It has the great My Father pepper and spice but toned down with almost a smooth chocolate or kinda of a slight sweet taste may like a Prensado. Definitely not harsh - leaving a nice palate. Still delivers a decent enough kick to keep things interesting. Draw is about right and not as loose as the Cuban Classic, which I also love. It has a nice burn with good amount of smoke. I really was surprised at how nice this stick is but I think the price point is too high- where there are many other great sticks competing. I still expect to pickup a box soon, though
The only ones I have tried are the lancero and the robusto. Both are exceptional. Rich, sweet anise, spice. These have become part of my rotation. You can never go wrong with the Pepin family.
