Beautiful construction, although I frayed the wrapper a bit removing the band. Burn was fairly even and the draw perfect. This starts out spicy and woody and then develops smooth creaminess in the second third, with great coffee notes, and this seemed to persist through the final third. I'm glad I've got another for the humidor; it might need some friends!

I tried a box of these based on the very positive reviews here,and was NOT disappointed.Smooth,nice draw,good flavours,clean tasting,but nutty,earhy,woody,too,I thought--flavoursome,but not at all overpowering,certainly not bitter.If this is an example of Fillipino cigar manufacture,book me my ticket to Manilla now,I'm off on my holidays there!After a memorably awful Rafael Gonzalez,this is a breath of fresh air--er.smoke--oh,you know what I mean!

Gorgeous
I was introduced to these a year ago on a trip to Amsterdam, I was after a full bodied cigar, roughly half an hour smoke and not going to knock you sideways with a nicotine hit. Pretty much fits the bill; the full body it is smooth with a good rich creamy characteristic. Don't know much about nutmegs and vanilla and all the other descriptions, just full body smooth smoke. The smoke gets better all the way down becoming more and more complex in flavours which to me is a typical characteristics of a good Cuban cigar.
They are a bit tight on the draw but burn beautifully giving a good tight grey ash which is evenly burnt all the way. I only needed to re light towards the end and that was because I was being greedy, this was not going to waste.
All cigars are consistent, there are not better or worse cigars in the pack so quality control is top notch.
I prefer these out of the humidor at around 77% humidity, they will age nicely but with me no chance they are not going to last.

Great little cigar. Started with a thin wispy smoke with mild cocoa notes. The second third had much creamier, almost blue smoke with stronger cocoa sweetness and rich tobacco flavours. The final third packed a strong pepper tingle on the lips with an almost citrusy leather taste. The draw was tight to begin with but the generous cap allowed me to take off a little more and enjoy the tight packed slow burn. Smoke time for me was about 40 mins.

I prefer the flavour of the Rojo red but for the price this is a great cigar.

These are fantastic! I have smoked a number of their pressed cigars which are also excellent, but these round ones do taste richer and are a smoother smoke and seem to last a little longer. I will be buying these exclusively from now on. They also produce wonderful amounts of beautiful, rich smoke and the ash looks lovely. A really great smoke. If only they were £5.00 a pack or on special offer, I would buy them by the bucketload as my daily smoke in between the more expensive, occasional luxury humidor cigars. I also love the packaging - a real 70s look to them.
