COMMENTS: While this is a very well made cigar, the bland taste really keeps it from being a great cigar. These cigars are almost always perfect: perfect draw, perfect color, and perfect burn. And, they are a very smooth smoke; medium bodied, on the lighter side. But, and here is the big 'ol but. This cigar is boring. If I had to choose a cigar that is suppose to represent standard cigar flavor, it would be the Romeo y Julieta. But do not let this keep you from giving it a try. If you like lighter cigars you can expect a great smoke, just don't expect anything special.
