I just got home form Maxi's Cigar Lounge in the neighboring town. Had a great time with my close friend talking, smoking and playing darts.

Absolutely incredible cigar. This cigar had a slightly rough texture and the construction was perfect. After firing it up, this cigar produced a smooth, cool draw that tasted of nuts and spice. As the cigar burned down the spice increased and a mild flavor of sweet coffee came into play. Half way through the spice mellowed out quite a bit and the taste became a little leathery. The full bodied cigar was extremely smooth the entire length. The ash held strong and burned even. I'm putting this cigar way up there on the top of my list. I bought 2 more to bring home at the end of the night. If you haven't tried this stick yet, get one. You won't be disappointed. Seriously, it's up there with some of those $20+ cigars that I've tried. This will be a box purchase in the future.

This cigar was a little loose in it's construction. It burned a little bit faster then I like but was still very enjoyable. This medium bodied cigar started out very nutty. About 1 inch in, cocoa and coffee flavors joined the nuttiness. About half way down the cocoa/coffee flavor dropped and a woody spice picked up. This flavor stayed similar for the rest of the cigar with slight fluctuations in the spice and woodiness. The nutty taste stayed on for the entire cigar. The draw was very cool and smooth. The ash was a little loose but burned pretty even. Not the best smoke I've had, but very good. Well worth checking out as it's pretty inexpensive($5.75 with NY taxes). (note: Cigar Aficionado gave this cigar a 92 rating)
