Wow, I might stop buying cubans, dark chocolate with enough spice to keep it interesting. Only 4 stars from me however, a slightly uneven burn, and slightly bitter in the last third, but that was probably due to me smoking too fast because it was so delicious. I will buy more to see if aging can get it the 5th star.

Very smooth medium smoke, creamy with a touch of sweetness. Wood, vanilla style first two thirds developing in toffee, treacle type flavours in the final. Really solid, consistent and attractive stick. Highly recommend.

Nice and smokey, a little bit of sea salt with a peppery kick at the end. Relatively smooth but the smoke lingers but very tasty

An enjoyable robusto. Very dark flavours of wood, earth, cocoa powder, burnt leather and black pepper. A very slight hint of cream came and went. Not quite to my taste and I found the flavours overall a little dry and boring, though nothing bad or harsh. I prefer the Alma del Fuego, particularly the Flama, myself as it seems to have a little more liveliness and character.

Dark, powerful cigar. Very nice coffee flavours. Quite a strong smoke, left me fairly lightheaded.

Very enjoyable. I slightly prefer this over the Candente robusto format as the slimmer gauge seems to work better with this kind of blend for me, seeming to be slightly more balanced and focused. Earthy, coffee, pepper, sweet spice and some occasional almond and cherry/stonefruit hints that come and go. There is also a slight underlying taste throughout that is something akin to charred meat. Lovely deep rosado wrappers.
