Picked one of these up on Friday and smoked it 2 days later. The cigar is smallish, maybe corona sized with tapered head and foot. It is box pressed and packaged in individual plastic tubos.
I've never had a box-pressed perfecto cigar before, and I found the construction to be flawless. It felt like silk, and the draw was just about right. Cigar had some tooth and a sheen to it that made me feel like I was really smoking something special.
And boy was I right. The cigar started off very strong. The inital quarter inch was pretty powerful smoke. I distinctly remember that at around 1" the smoke smoothed out exceptionally. I stopped and looked at the cigar and went "whoa". Flavors of toasted coffee beans and graham crackers.
I was really loving these flavors, then at about 2 inches, POW, it got very strong again. The cigar kept throwing me curveballs, switching up characteristics every inch or so.
This was an exceptional cigar, in my opinion. Wonderful flavors, only slight harshness at the very beginning, and the size was just about perfect for me. I believe I smoked the whole thing in around 40 minutes (and I was driving, the cigar was always in my mouth or my hand).
Highly recommended. I would give this cigar a 93. I am thinking of making a special trip back to the shop just to pick up more of these. :thumbs: :thumbs:
