I received this cigar when I ordered the Nicaraguan version, which wasn't a great issue. However, it was a little disappointing after I had smoked this, as I have to say it was one of the worst cigars I have smoked to date. The first third was lightly scented with a fairly hot smoke, with a hint of sweetness, but after this the remainder was very hot, tasting of nothing more than tabacco. Seemed very dry although had been at 70% humidity for a month. Hopefully, just a dud.
