Wrapper: Oily/smooth
Band: Very attractive
I'm a bit late to the party, this cigar was first released in 2016. Still, better late than never.
The cigar looks beautiful with its old-school band: lots of gold and curly lettering.
The first flavors are not too shabby eiter.

As the cigar nears its end, it becomes very mellow, like a chocolate sweet.

The second part of El Lector was better than the first, which I found rather bland. All in all a pleasant smoke, though.
