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
