Bdawg says: I am smoking this fine cigar in my good buddies old barn on a beautiful spring evening. James Taylor's "Carolina in My Mind" playing in the background. Charcoal ember's are almost ready for some of the biggest steaks I have ever seen. Firewood is already stacked in the fire pit in preparation for tonight's night cap, Cuban Montecristo's #2. The anticipation is almost unbearable!... but I digress.

This cigar has a gorgeous dark brown wrapper. The draw is nice and easy producing mouthfuls of smoke. The burn nice, slow, and even. The flavor is somewhat complex...earthy and leathery.

I like this cigar so much that I now keep a box in the "I Heart Cigars" humidor.  I recently enjoyed this fine cigar with Two Brothers - Atom Smasher

  1. I really like this cigar and it's a 93 rated cigar with a really low price. I just ordered a box of these and will bring one over. With great construction, the cigar produces long ash and a lot of smoke. It will make a nice gift to place in the new humidor!
