Finally had some time to try the Capuleto - an interesting albeit slightly disappointing smoke:

Would you expand on that please?

Of course. The stick looks great, but the draw was poor up to the middle of the 2/3, and burn was far from great either (and I dryboxed a bit). Still, all that would be almost irrelevant if the flavours were spot on, but they weren't. Average fortaleza but very unspecific flavours, with almost no evolution throughout the cigar, and it turned on me pretty much from the beginning of the 3/3. I believe they'll improve over time but, for what they're charging for them, there are much better options out there IMO.

I think that's what I found a few weeks ago but in far greater depth
