I got this highly prized cigar direct from the roller Juanpyrotec. It is about the same size as a Robusto with a maduro wrapper. It looks like the wrapper shrunk quite a bit after rolling, as the cigar looks and feels like a small branch. It is not the ugliest cigar I have ever seen, but not the most beautiful work of art either. But a work of art it is. It has a great full pre-light aroma that lends the promise of a flavorful smoke. Now this baby is rolled tight, it is not plugged but it is TIGHT. The ash stayed on for the entire cigar down to the nub, as most of you know thats the way Wayne likes em. The flavors reminded me most of a Puros Indios #4 Maduro, nice and sweet with a lot of coffee flavor. I did smoke it to the nub and it didn't get bitter until the last inch or so. All in all Wayne I'd say this is an excellent start for you, I would gladly smoke another, in fact I would probably buy some from you. I did have to run a wood skewer through before I smoked it, but I figure that you have the shrinkage problem worked out by now. Damn, I feel like I have my own personel roller!! I'd give it an 82 for a starter, send me more samples I am sure the grades will go up. Thanks for the opportunity to smoke one.:w :w :w :w
