This cigar wasn't quite my cup of tea - but that's just personal preference. I found it to be grassy at the start, then it developed some liquorice flavours through the mid-section, before finishing with a slightly disappointing earthiness. Unfortunately, liquorice doesn't rank amongst those flavours which I like, but I suppose plenty do. The construction was excellent - clean and even burn, plenty of smoke and a solid ash. For the price, if you like the flavour profile, you really can't go wrong.

Considering the price of this cigar, I've really feel it deserves a full 5 stars. Despite being a student until recently I was a bit of a Cuban snob, but mainly due to my poor wallet I decided to foray into the Nicaraguan smokes. I'm glad I did. This cigar swings way above it's weight class in terms of price. Nice consistent draw across the whole box and a razor sharp burn that would put many Cubans to shame. Definitely benefit from a few months in the humi! If you're looking for a Cuban substitute in times of 'hardship' you could do alot worse.

A very nice cigar especially at this price, great build quality & a lovely even burn. The only thing I would say that differs from the other reviews is that I thought it was quite a strong flavoured cigar, especially halfway through, but then I'm probably a lightweight!!

This was a fantastic cigar for the price. Very mellow, burnt nice and even with good draw. I dont think you can find better at this price.

Nice smoke if only it was a inch or two longer, then this would of been a even better smoke. As it finished to soon.
