I just smoked one of these while watching a few episodes of "The Shield" (BTW, "The Shield" rocks). Good cigar but not $11 worth. This one was a gift though, so dang good at that price. The Guapo reminded me of a Tatuaje without all the strength. Was still a full-bodied cigar though and I prefer...
