Everyone claims they have "Cuban" like-cigars, and usually that claim holds no water. These cigars may not be exactly Cubans, but they did make a pretty darn solid cigar. We see what Captn says when he tries one:)

The cigars arrived yesterday in perfect condition. Thank you very much for sharing with me Roham, and thanks to Danilo2709 for sending them to begin with.
I had one of the Ancestral's last night after dinner out on my deck with a glass of sweet tea.
The cigar was well constructed and had a nice feel to it.
The draw was medium and it produced a nice amount of smoke with each drag. I would put this cigar as mild to medium in strength and medium in complexity.
To be honest, this cigar reminded me more of a Te-Amo #4 (Mexican puro) than a Cuban. Cuban's to me have more of an "earthy" flavor to them.
There were a lot of a grassy notes of flavor (the Te-Amo #4 comparison) and little touches of a bitter/salty. Both of which I enjoy. Those were the only flavors I was able to define. There were others but I couldn't ever quite put a finger on what they reminded me of. I thought it had a really nice aftertaste too.
Overall, I enjoyed it enough I'd like to have a few in my humidor. I will likely try a sampler or two of the various ones they have available in the future.
