What reviewers say

  • cigaraficionado.com: 87 points, Robusto, 5 x 50 (2021)In our words: Heavy spice and char accompanied earthiness. Uneven burning and an inconsistent draw reduced balance.
  • cigaraficionado.com: 91 points, Corona Doble, 7 x 50 (2021)In our words: An earthy coffee opening became more nuanced. Chocolate and nut flavours accompanied reliable construction.
