After reading several recommendations on these being good young I ordered a few. I'm quite glad I did. :)
These were produced in June 2011, so they're not green, but not well aged either.

These are on the mild side, for a Cuban cigar. Make no mistake, these still are no Macanudo, but they're not a Behike either.
No, through out these have enough pepper to tingle your tongue, but not scorch you like some Nicaraguan sticks can.
The first 3rd of these is fairly ordinary, smidge of pepper, earth, leather and hints of sweet tobacco. But after that they get real interesting, baking spice and floral notes and a hint of black tea. These are very tasty! :naughty:
At just under 5" and a decent 50 ring size, its a good hour long smoke.

These smokes IMO offer a pretty good value. They're only $6.33 a piece and I enjoy these more than the Opus X I smoked the other day. Think on that a moment.
Needless to say, I nubbed this thing, which to me is one of the hallmarks of a good smoke!
