Okay folks, this is my first review ever so please bare with me.

The cigar is a nicely wrapped stick with some good viens running throughout.

The pre-light draw was next to impossible until I cut the end off, after that it was smooth sailing. :tu

I like a strong, full bodied smoke but am always pleased with a change of pace. While this stick is not a Cain or Tat Black, I would rate it as medium to full throughout the burn.

The ash is tight and non-flaky. I didn't have to worry about the ashes falling until I was ready to ash it myself.

The draw was fairly easy with heaps of smoke from beginning to end.

One thing I liked about this stick is that the taste was consistent from start to finnish. Never getting stronger or weaker even near the end. I would say it becomes a little more complex near the 2/3rd but other than that, it was very smooth on the palet.

This was one of those sticks that you don't like to put down and wish it could last twice as long. I nubbed the heck out of this thing and really enjoyed my last morning of vacation with it.

Overall, I'd have to give this stick a 9.2/10 and would highly recommend it.

Great review Kelly!

Wish I had given you mine. I made it about two inches and pitched it. It never really developed into anything for me. Maybe it was the time of day I was smoking, or I got a bad one.

:tpd: The Coffee Break is a little more stout than the larger ones too. I like this line since Pepin took over.

Good job on your first review Kelly! Thanks for sharing with us.

I really enjoyed the coffee breaks, I can't tell if this was a the coffee breaks or not, but I assume this wasn't the C.B. Give it a try if you get a chance, nice easy, quick smoke.

Is this the regular release or the new Oscuro? The wrapper looks pretty dark.

The only NMSS I've smoked is the lancero, which I liked enough to get a 5er. Good stick.

Too big to be the Coffee Break.

I would say it is. Too dark to be rosado.

The oscuro lancero rocks!

So are the oscuros a regular release now, or just a special thing? The oscuro wrapper in general is a pretty new one for me personally, but I've loved all the cigars I've smoked so far with this wrapper.

Yep, they are regular and have been produced for about 3/4 months.

Sweet thanks! I'll need to find some. The only place I've seen them is over an hour away, so I'll need to look a little harder.
