The guy at my B&M told me they just got a box in today, so of course I bit. I sampled a Camacho Corojo earlier this week, so I had to have one.
Construction: Wonderful black oily wrapper. Good shape, size and weight. 50 x 4.5 was my choice of size. decent cut with the Xikar. 9/10
Pre-light draw: Nice easy draw. No problems at all. Delicious woody taste to start. 9/10
Light: I got a little carried away on the light. It came through very strong. yes, I cooked it. I let it settle a little once I realized the taste was a bit too strong and bitter.
Burn and taste: After the purge and settle, the taste in the first third was delicious. It had a nice strong woodsy taste. Wasn't peppery. This cigar gave good smoke and kept me wanting more. Taste remained pretty consistent through out. It also had the same wood flavored after taste as the Corojo. It did get a little stronger as it went on, but it was not over powering. I had no real problems, just one relight in the second third.
Burn 8/10. Taste 9/10
Overall, I would recommend this cigar to those full bodied smokers out there. This is not a breakfast smoke. I had not eaten and it almost got me. I do not usually get buzzed on a cigar, but this one hit me hard. definitely an after meal smoke. I bought four more on the way out the door.
