A definite No. 1 in premium cigars.

| TASTING NOTES: A nice spice started right off the bat and tapered down to a light and smooth woody flavor after the 1st 1/3 to 1/2 of the cigar. This woody flavor had hints of roasted nuts speckled throughout. A very enjoyable and creamy smooth finish. |
| OTHER NOTES: The aroma before lighting the cigar reminded me of new leather and hints of chocolate, cedar and vanilla. The draw produced the perfect amount of billowy, creamy smoke perfect for making smoke rings in still air. The cigar's ash was dense and held on for nearly 2 inches as I strolled the neighborhood. Shortly after the first ash departed was when the cigar began to mellow out and the second ash held on for another 1 - 1/2 inches. Blended by Don Pepin Garcia's son Jaime this cigar has received rave reviews and is considered one of the best blends by this master blender. |
| EVALUATION: Some folks aren't too pleased with the cigar because of its hype and because it doesn't finish as a full bodied cigar but rather tapers off at the end. I personally prefer this blending technique to rock'em sock'em tobacco blends offering a constant barrage of thick and spicy full bodied punches to the palate. Believe the hype of this No. 1 cigar. |
