Supposedly a stronger version of the original 1875, with a shiny Connecticut wrapper. I wasn't overly impressed. Not a bad cigar mind you, about as good as a Don Diego. Personally I like the DD's and the original 1875 mix a bit better. I didn't find this cigar anywhere near strong or full bodied. I would be hard pressed to rate it a medium! It tasted just like the 1875 mix, but a little more pepper, a little less sweet spice, and it had even less complexity. Being that it's an inexpensive cigar, you can't be too harsh on it. It's worth it's money, but it's no gem.
