I had an opportunity to smoke this one of recent, and really enjoyed it.

In searching under reviews I found 5 different responses, but one especially for Fumadores.

I got the opportunity from my brother Scott who had gifted me several sticks. The stick has probably been in my humidor for 8 months or so.

Smoked on: Saturday February 19th.
Prelight taste: Nice mellow slightly sweet tobacco taste.
Light up: Easy.
Draw: Medium... just the way I like it.
Burn: Even.

First third: There were hints of pepper and a very oaky type flavor. The burn was just a bit uneven at first, but It corrected itself without any touch ups. It did not take long for the pepper hint to dissolve into a very mellow and creamy flavor. There was copious amounts of smoke. The ash held to about an inch, being slightly gray with a bit of yellow twinge.

Second third: The flavor was very much like the first third after it mellowed, but during that third it seemed to strengthen in flavor some, although there was no more hints of pepper.

Final third: It intensified even more in the last third for flavor. I have to admit that I really enjoyed this stick. I realize that many "bundle" and "house" type sticks are often least to be desired, but since this one was created by Pepin Garcia I thought it would be interesting to try. I am very glad that I did. A very good value for a mid priced bundle. I will look forward to adding more of these to my humidor in the future.

Special thanks to my bro for giving me the opportunity!

I would rate this stick a solid 89 out of 100 scale.

Thanks, Roger.
