I think it's a great Nicaraguan cigar that is a bit different than the rest in that there's a very sweet flavor throughout that is really great right down to the nub as Clayton said earlier.
All things considered, our palates are all different and we won't all agree on the same cigar, which is why there are thousands of different blends to try and appeal to each of our tastes. To each his own, but I love this cigar....as a matter of fact, I'm writing a review tomorrow evening.

Think of a cigar that you had major burn issues and other construction problems. Do those problems make you not want to buy the cigar again? That's the situation many of us are finding with the Serie N, and why there is
"backlash".
This cigar was certainly unique when it comes to the Nicaraguan profile. A pleasant smoothness is what I noticed. But the flavors I found in the cigar were muted; smooth but muted. A small bit of that Nic "zing" through the nose, but nothing special.
I'm glad you like these cigars and havent had any of the issues aformentioned, and maybe after some time I'll go back and try another, but at this point it's too much hassle.
