I have a couple of these in my humidor for a good few years and I have decided that I will smoke them and make some room for something new.

I don’t think you can get them easily in the UK any more, but they seem popular enough in the USA and fairly cheap over there.

They are 5 ? by 44 and made in Honduras by hand with long filler. They are described as a mild to medium cigar and I found them fairly mild.

This is not really a review because up until recently I have smoked cigars and either liked them or not. It is only very recently I have started to think a bit more about what I am smoking, (still trying to learn and develop some thoughts on tastes etc). I am not really at the reviewing stage but I will continue and try and give an impression of this cigar.

The wrapper was pale and smooth as silk with a slight sheen to it. Pre-light it had a honey smell which was great. Lighting was straight forward enough, with a good easy draw. The first couple of draws were rather harsh, there after it settled down and as said earlier a mild and smooth taste developed and it gave of plenty of creamy smoke. The taste had initial leather tones and then about half way through it turned to a light honey flavour, the final 2 inches returned to a pleasant leather taste.

The ash was very light and held together very well. It burnt extremely well, nice and even with no re-lights and no intervention required. Cigar lasted just over an hour (please note I am not the fastest smoker).

Is this a great cigar, well no its not, no complex flavours, no spice and no earth moving experience. It is however a good cigar, pleasant to smoke with a mild uncomplicated flavour. A pleasant way to spend an hour, chill out and relax.

The nubs are a good smoke and IMO out of all of them the ones you had are the best of the bunch only problem is you need a flame-thrower to light them.

And i settled on a ERDM longs which is just perfection really need a another box of these.

And now ive got a san cristobal la punta its not bad but no principie
