It has been hyped for what seems like over a year - ever since Blanco 'retired' from La Aurora and then showed up at JdN - no non-compete there. On the face of it, the cigars should be good - JdN had/has some good tobacco but seemingly not a lot of blending experience with other tobacco, and and Blanco has done lots of blending of tobacco from different countries. I am willing to bet it makes CA's Top 25, if not top ten or better. (I think the same will happen with the Oliva V Melanio.)
