Big fan of AB, but this one is a bit of a surprise, pleasant, but a surprise. Wrapper reminds me of a Tatuaje, bit toothy, subtle veins and an oily sheen. Few imperfections added to by the blasted bands being glued to the wrapper so no matter how careful some damage when removing. Good feel in the hand and an open draw from the off with clouds of white mellow smoke. The flavours surprise, hint of sweetness, and an almost menthol quality, reminds me of an aromatic pipe blend I used to smoke, so much so it could be! Some burn issues that no amount of love seemed to remedy. Ash clings on for dear life and darker than I'm used to for a non-Cuban. Definitely worth a try if you like AB. Me, another before I render a verdict...
