Mario sent me one of these and one of the Oscuros in the MAW a while back. The Oscuro was tasty, but had some burn issues, so I was looking forward to trying this stick after a bit of rest.

Humidor time: 2 months

Prelight: Well constructed, with minimal veins. Prelight draw is moderate, with a leathery/musty flavor.

Burn: The burn got a little uneven, but never enough to require a touch-up. Ash was solid and held on well. Draw was moderate. The burn time was about 75 minutes.

Flavor: Leather, with a bit of cedar and a hint of caramel that came and went. Nice amount of pepper, especially through the nose.

Summary: Very tasty, and burned much better than the Oscuro after a little rest. I'll have to pick up a few more of each and bury them in the cooler for a while.
