Not that I had to pay anything for it, as it was sent by a generous BOTL as my winnings in a CS lotto. But I would definitely buy this smoke, especially at its low-end price of around $9.00.
Construction: a little bumpy, with a mottled maddie wrapper, but solid, no soft spots and a good feel in the hand. Heavy for its size.
Burn: Dead even all the way to the end. Ash solid, but didn't hang on for an impressive length. Minor flaw.
Draw: Firm. Tons of smoke.
Flavor: Consistently spicy and complex, with a long finish.
Bouquet: I swear I detected hints of peppermint in this cigar! Fragrant, never harsh.
I've had my doubts about this line, being kind of put off by the garish band and the pseudo Latin in the name, but this was a real treat. The price range on Cigar Price is surprising, but I think this qualifies as a must-try, even at the $10.00 level.
