This cigar started in cuba. I think in 1999, they discontinued the blend and in 2004 released a new one. It comes in both connecticut and a cameroon wrapper, with dominican filler.

Appearance: The cameroon wrapper was very veiny. Black and green blemishes covered the cigars. The torpedoed head was also misshaped. A very unattractive cigar.

Initial light: Used my guillotine cutter. Was a good light and a very nice draw to it. No initial flavors, maybe a mix of stale coffee and chocolate.

The Smoke: Minutes in to it, the burn went crooked, but remained that way the rest of the smoke. Picked up some woodsy/cedar notes to the smoke which changed to a floral/green taste. For the most part, the smoke lacked any complexity. Although very mild, the only flavor that was really present on the palate was bitterness. Half way down, it picked up some slight sweetness that brought some enjoyment to the smoke, but it lasted for only a minute. Each draw seem to change between really bitter and just bitter.

Overall: Cigar began to crack near the end. It provided no consistent flavor, but luckliy had a quick finish. It was a mild smoke and could be considered an everyday cigar but had nothing special to it at all. No flavor, bad construction, and an dull experience

Grade: 75/100 (and that's going easy!)
