Wrapper: Nicaraguan Criollo
Filler: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Size: Lonsdale -- The Sentry 6 x 46
Paid: Sample

Filled very well and heavy in the hand. The draw was perfect with a slight resistance that I like. The Nic Criollo wrapper had a slightly reddish hue with a nice oily sheen. Burn was razor sharp.

From the first light it was very smooth and rich. Started out on the mild to med side with some cream and earthy notes. Developed into a rich med to full bodied smoke that coats the mouth and some spice starts to creep in the picture. Overall the flavor was quite good and I was hoping the cigar would last a bit longer. A very nice, clean finish with every puff.

I am a sucker for nic puro's and this one didn't dissapoint. They are blended by another Cuban ex-Pat, Jesus Fuego. He has some great credinials so you will be hearing his name alot in the near future. He apprenticed under Alejandro Robaina. Whoever he is. ;)

A darn good cigar, imo.
