This cigar is worthy of 8 stars. A truly EXCELLENT cigar and I do not give this description lightly. I love to try these luxury cigars and this one definitely delivers. The flavor profile is ultra creamy and smooth with a little spice and about half way through the spiciness fades away to pure creaminess. I could not get enough and I smoked it down until my fingers burned it was that good. It had a razor perfect burn line that did not require any touch ups after lighting. I enjoyed this baby for about 90 minutes and will definitely buy more to keep in the humidor for special occasions. Yes, I know it's expensive, but this one rates with the best Cuban I have ever smoked and I've tried virtually all the Cuban brands. I bought three and have two left, can't wait to smoke the next one!
