I picked these up at a RoMa Craft event I went to the week before last. The Co-owner of the company was there and explained how these are rolled using newspaper instead of molds. He stated each cigar takes longer to roll because of this process and that is why they are a bit on the higher end of the price list and can take a while to get. But they are such a gorgeous looking cigar!
I shot these pics using two cameras; my trusty Nikon D40 w/60mm Macro lens and my new Nikon 1J w/Kit Lens. I bought the 1J as it is a mirror-less digital camera with an interchangeable lens system. Figured I would do a bit of a comparison between them with this review.

- There is a slightly sweet and leathery taste on the dry draw.

1st Third
- Sweet. Smooth.
- After about a half inch or so, around the two-band area, a nice and light grassy taste appeared.

Final Third
- By the Final Third, the sweetness has begun to subside. The nice light grassy taste is still hanging around though.
- Still smooth!
