This beauty has quickly become one of my favorite cigars to smoke. I have to stop myself from smoking these lest I run out. Talk about punching above its weight class! This dark brown, toothy, delicious smoke is insanely captivating.

I’m not going to spend a lot of time going over flavor notes in each section mainly because this isn’t a review site but I will share the list of things I taste.  Sweet cream, cocoa powder, espresso, cedar, earth, leather, green tea, malt, BBQ pulled pork, soy sauce, sugar cane. Like its Habano brother, this presents a plethora of flavors in an ever-shifting kaleidoscope. At least to me, it’s a flavor bomb!

And at $5.62/stick, it’s a steal!

But don’t be fooled by the price. As I mentioned in my other review, this marca is redefining the notion of budget stick. You’re not supposed to get this depth of flavor and complexity in a cigar this cheap. I like it more than the Diesel Vintage and the H. Upmann 1844 Anejo. And dare I say it? I think it is every bit as good as a Foundation Olmec or another of my recent favorites, the DE Undercrown Maduro. It costs less than all of them!

You’re also not supposed to get this high quality of construction in a budget stick. The roll is perfect. The construction is solid with no soft spots. And this sucker burns straight and true!

I feel as if I’m smoking a cigar that’s four or five times the price. This is how good I think this cigar is! Yeah, I’m going to keep these stocked up.
