Man, I love these. At a buck and change an excellent smoke. Full-flavored but not harsh through the nose, pretty typical maduro flavors of coffee and unsweetened cocoa, with a faint coconut flavor that comes and goes throughout the cigar and even some charred wood flavors. This is one of those cigars that makes me question why I should ever pay more than $2 for a cigar. :r

I have found that this is one NC that needs rest or they will burn funny. 6-8 months does it for me. The wrappers appear to be..."enhanced" but no poo stains on your fingers. Probably a "cooked" maduro leaf rather than "dyed".


The natural wrap ones are good too, but they got nothin' on the maddies.

Glad you like them.

I picked mine up on a two-fer deal at Famous and after trying to smoke three of them, sent the rest back for a refund. I could not get any reasonable draw, even after using my draw tools. But, mine were tried FOTT, perhaps a long rest would have changed everything. More often than not, I'm of the opinion that if I can't enjoy a stick FOTT, I 'd just rather not purchase it.

did you smoke them right off the truck? sounds like they were too moist...often times when a cigar is harsh or has a difficult draw, it's because it's too moist...try dry boxing them next time :)
