Ok, so I had a second today. And it was just as tastey as the first. Great roll and burn. Couldn't quit smoke it too the nub because it got very strong near the end, but still a great smoke.

BTW - the claim is they're just like Cuban cigars. Any truth to that rumor?

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.

I never heard of any of those.
I did see that your Dignity Black and Gold Reserve was RATED 38 out of 100 in the Sydney, Nova Scotia Super Secret Cigar Society Magazine, est. 1842. It's a local publication here in Nova Scotia but it has a huge readership across the globe and is widely respected.

The Sydney, Nova Scotia Super Secret Cigar Society Magazine - is that the same publication that rated Black and Milds at 94?I never heard of any of those.
